Hemp Binding Traditional Journal

Traditional East Asian fabrics bring the entire journal back home.

The stab binding method used originated in 14th century China as the four-hole method, and was later adopted and modified by Japan to add more holes for style and strength.

Our original journal style, handmade with fabric covers. The binding style along with the blank pages make it naturally ambidextrous. There isn't an obvious front or back, and it can be used in landscape and portrait mode. There is no wrong way to express your thoughts and ideas with this unique stationery item.

Made using the ancient stab binding method, each comes with 35 sheets (70 pages) of white, unlined 80lb heavyweight drawing paper. Fabrics are cotton or cotton-linen blend. Choose from beautifully textured solids, classic stripes and plaids, or traditional East Asian designs.
