Takeo Dressco Cloth Notebook

Hardcover notebook from Dressco, the stationery line of Takeo — one of Japan's principal fine-paper merchants. The cover is a silk-like woven cloth over board; the text block is 112 pages of Conqueror Wove High White, a watermarked stationery paper with long-standing recognition among fountain pen users.

Thread-sewn in seven 16-page signatures, so the book opens flat at any page. Ribbon marker fitted.
