Itoya Japanese Notebook, B6 (4.9" x 6.9"), Ruled/Lined, 160 pages, Beige

I like the smaller size, durability and flexibility. There is a red line (see picture) that would make it less optimal as a journal but it’s great for note taking and list-making.

The notebook is fairly nice and pretty good quality, but the cost is higher than I would consider justified by the quality. This was purchased as a gift for someone who is interested in Japanese culture or I would have purchased a similar sized moleskine notebook. That said, the recipient wasn't overly impressed with the notebook either. Other than being manufactured in Japan, I'm not sure how this differs from any other notebook.

This B6 notebook has a smooth paper that is able to take fountain pen ink, gel ink pens, sharpie and highlighters and dry relatively quickly. I recommend testing your own favoritesI use a B6 planner and needed a notebook without a lot of bulk and this is perfect.

This is an adorable notebook. Great quality. Looks classic.

Love these little notebooks ! Easy to carry in my suit pocket and classy to use ! Very high quality paper!

Great book. Smooth pages.

This paper feels so good to write on, both to the touch and under the pen. Minimal to no feathering with fountain pens. Slight bleedthrough with fountain pens.

Nice notebook. Perfect size. Will order more.
