Yamamoto Ro-Biki Notebook | Basic | Cross

An elegantly minimalist notebook that marries vintage charm with refined functionality. The Ro-Biki Notebook Basic – Cross (also known as reticle or cross grid) stands out with its delicate 5 mm checkered pattern, perfect for organized writing, sketching, or technical notes.

Key Features:

• Waxed-Kraft Cover with Patina Appeal
  Wrapped in wax-infused kraft paper, the notebook ages gracefully—developing subtle wrinkling, scratches, and a one-of-a-kind vintage patina with continued use.

• Precise Cross/Grid Layout
  Inside lies an ivory-toned, finely printed 5 mm cross grid, often accented by discreet red reticle markers—ideal for precise structuring, journaling, and creative layouts.

• Premium Fountain-Pen Friendly Paper
  The notebook contains 60 pages of New Chiffon Cream (≈80 gsm)* paper, silky-smooth and crafted to work flawlessly with pencils, ballpoint, gel, and fountain pens. 

• Thread-Stitched Binding—Durable & Lay-flat
  Thoughtfully bound via exposed thread, it opens 360° and remains durable over time—perfect for left- or right-handed users and on-the-go writing.

• Slim Yet Spacious Size
  At a compact 91 × 210 mm (approx. 3.6″ × 8.3″), it's ideal for portability without sacrificing writing space—fits neatly into pockets, bags, or planners. 

• Designed by Yamamoto Paper in Japan
  Created by a family-run Osaka-based paper specialist since 2005, it combines decades of paper expertise with timeless Japanese minimalism.
