THE COVER CONCEPT
A hardcover notebook, beautifully designed for daily use. We envisioned it as an object that naturally finds its place on a shelf and, over the years, becomes a treasured part of your collection.
Inside, you’ll find OK Fools blank pages that open perfectly flat thanks to the sewn section binding. The 5 mm grid supports you in all your tasks: handwriting, sketches, diagrams, and more. The light blue-gray printing highlights your words while remaining subtle enough not to show up during scanning.
Each notebook comes in a protective case that preserves the cover. The ribbon bookmark helps you easily find your page. Every detail is designed to offer the feeling of a book you love to return to.
The cover is made from Banshu-ori, a traditional Japanese textile produced in the Nishiwaki region, Hyogo Prefecture. Shimada Textiles, a Banshu-ori manufacturer with over 90 years of history, continues to create distinctive fabrics in close collaboration with skilled artisans at every stage of production.
We chose Banshu-ori for the cover of our signature notebook. The deep gray offers a timeless finish for a notebook you’ll want to keep by your side.

A notebook that lays flat when opened
Kakimori has been writing since 2010 in Kuramae, a workshop district in Tokyo. The A5 notebook has a hardcover and is section-sewn, so it opens perfectly flat, and its OK Fools paper pages accept fountain pens. A lightly printed 5 mm grid guides writing, sketches, and diagrams, and a ribbon bookmark holds your place. Four limited edition covers showcase Enshu orimono, a traditional Japanese weaving. For the pocket, the Mini note refills carry the same idea in B7 size, available as a detachable pad or a spiral notebook, to slip into a cover you keep.
