Nakabayashi Yu-Sari Paper B5 Lined Notebook

The Nakabayashi Yu-Sari B5 Lined Notebook is a finely crafted writing companion, designed with the fountain pen user in mind. Featuring Nakabayashi’s exclusive 95gsm Yu-Sari paper, this notebook delivers an ideal combination of smooth writing, fast ink drying, and minimal bleed-through, making it perfect for journaling, note-taking, sketching, or precision drafting.

The name Yu-Sari, derived from an archaic Japanese word meaning “sunset” (YU = sun, SARI = past), reflects the paper’s ability to dry ink quickly, just as evening follows sunset. Ink shading and sheening are beautifully rendered on the surface—more vividly than on Rhodia, with faster dry times than Tomoe River and Cosmo Air Light paper.

This B5-sized (182mm x 257mm) notebook features a 5 mm grid layout and a refined black soft card-stock cover, elegantly embossed in gold. Its traditional Japanese thread binding allows every page to open fully flat, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable writing experience across all 96 sheets (192 pages).
