Takeo Dressco Onionskin Notebook Large

The bigger of the two KateJo onion-skin notebooks, for writing that needs more width than the standard size allows. Same paper throughout: very thin, faintly see-through, finely crumpled, redeveloped by Takeo after Japanese onion-skin production stopped in 2010.

PUR binding lets the whole text block open flat, so you can write across the spine without holding the pages down. A fountain pen glides on this surface rather than catching, and the book weighs very little for the number of pages in it. Three quiet colourways — white, pale blue and dusty blue.

Trade notes

The top of the onion-skin selection. Pale, quiet colourways — merchandises alongside the standard format rather than competing with it.
