Nakabayashi Yu-Sari Paper A5 Grid Notebook

The Nakabayashi Yu-Sari A5 Grid Notebook is a beautifully crafted writing tool, designed specifically for fountain pen enthusiasts who demand performance and elegance. Made with Nakabayashi’s exclusive Yu-Sari paper (95gsm), this notebook offers a perfect balance of smooth writing, quick ink drying, and minimal bleed-through, making it ideal for everyday use, journaling, and calligraphy.

"Yu-Sari," meaning “sunset” in classical Japanese (YU = sun, SARI = past), reflects the notebook’s ability to dry ink as swiftly as night follows sunset. Its high-quality paper reveals ink shading and sheening beautifully—more than Rhodia, but with quicker dry times than Tomoe River Paper and Cosmo Air Light.

This A5-sized (148mm x 210mm) notebook features a 5 mm grid layout and a soft blue card-stock cover embossed in elegant gold. With traditional Japanese thread binding, every page opens completely flat, enhancing the writing experience. It contains 96 sheets (192 pages) and is perfect for precision writing, note-taking, or sketching with your favorite fountain pen.
