A Once-in-a-Lifetime Find — Only Twelve Journals Exist

In early 2025, we came across something extraordinary: vintage Chiyogami paper, tucked away in a small Japanese shop in Coupeville, WA. Among the treasures we brought home were just four sheets of vintage Katazome-shi paper — and once they're gone, this paper will never exist again.

Katazome is an art form originally developed for dyeing silk destined for kimono. Kata means "stencil," and zome — from someru — means "to dye." Every part of the process, from crafting the tools to hand-printing each design, demands extraordinary skill and patience. It's a direct, deceptively simple technique that produces astonishingly elegant results.

Inside, you'll find our signature 118GSM text paper, made for a smooth, elevated writing experience every time. Whether you're journaling with your favorite fountain pen or sketching a beautiful vista, the paper is always ready to meet you.
