{"product_id":"nombre-notebook-ash-smoke-gray-nouto","title":"Nombre A5 Notebook in Ash Gray \u0026 Smoke Gray | Nouto","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuiet design meets serious paper in the Nombre Notebook from Nouto. Each cover pairs two colors that look intentional together, like the warm ash gray and cool smoke gray, a quiet all-neutral pairing on this edition. Inside, you'll find numbered pages of Seibundo paper, a Japanese notebook stock that fountain pens glide across with almost no bleeding. The 5mm dotted grid suits journals, planners, and bullet journal setups. The A5 size travels well in a bag and works at a desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes from The Fox\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nombre series started as a Makuake crowdfunding project in Japan, built by a long-running bookbinding studio working with people who actually use notebooks daily. The result feels engineered for habit rather than for display, which is exactly what we look for. The two-color cover is the design hook, but the paper is the reason this one stays in rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details and Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: A5, about 5.8 by 8.3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 189\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside: numbered pages with a 5mm dotted grid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper: Seibundo notebook paper, thin and smooth with a cushioned feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Codex sewn binding that opens flat to 180 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers: bi-color, warm ash gray front and cool smoke gray back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it as a daily journal, a planner, or a structured bullet journal. The 5mm dotted grid gives you a soft frame for sketches, ink swatches, lettering, and freeform notes without lines fighting your drawings. The Codex binding lays completely flat, so left-side pages are as easy to write on as right-side ones. Printed page numbers help you build an index as you go. Seibundo paper handles fountain pens, brush pens, and gel pens with very little show-through, and feels cushioned under the nib rather than slick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill fountain pens bleed through?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeibundo paper is thin but built specifically for fountain pen ink.
