Hobonichi - Tomitaro Makino: Hobonichi Graph Notebook (A5) - Yamazakura

The Hobonichi Graph Notebook A5, featuring a botanical illustration by Dr. Tomitaro Makino, merges scientific precision with aesthetic beauty.

The cover displays his iconic Yamazakura (mountain cherry blossom) drawing, published in 1900 in the first volume of Flora Japonica. Created using magnifying tools and ultra-fine brushes, the illustration captures the full structure of the plant with stunning detail.

Inside, the notebook features Tomoe River paper—thin, durable, and beloved by fountain pen users. Its thread-stitch binding allows the notebook to lie completely flat (180°), making it perfect for writing or drawing across both pages.

With 288 pages of 3.7 mm graph paper, the grid lines change color every 72 pages (red, blue, green, purple), helping you divide the notebook or navigate your notes with ease.

Compatible with Hobonichi Techo A5 Cousin covers, this notebook is ideal as a supplement or a standalone tool for writing, sketching, or journaling.
