Nakabayashi Yu-Sari Paper A5 Lined Notebook

The Nakabayashi Yu-Sari A5 Lined Notebook is a refined writing companion designed for fountain pen users who value smooth performance, quick ink drying, and elegant design. Featuring Nakabayashi’s original Yu-Sari paper (95gsm), this notebook offers excellent ink handling, with minimal bleed-through and enhanced shading and sheen visibility—perfect for journaling, note-taking, or everyday writing.

Inspired by the Japanese word for “sunset” (YU = sun, SARI = past), Yu-Sari symbolizes the fast-drying qualities of the paper, where ink settles as swiftly as night follows day. With faster dry times than Tomoe River Paper and Cosmo Air Light, and a smooth surface that brings out fountain pen ink characteristics, Yu-Sari stands out as a premium option for discerning writers.

This A5-sized (148mm x 210mm) notebook features an 8 mm lined layout and a sleek black softcover, beautifully embossed in gold. The traditional Japanese thread binding allows the notebook to lay completely flat, offering a seamless and comfortable writing experience across all 96 sheets (192 pages).
