Celebrate the joyous arrival of spring with the TAKEO PAPER SIKI Notebook M — Hanami (Full Bloom). Designed by Japan’s premier specialty paper merchant, TAKEO, the "SIKI" series translates seasonal colors (siki-sai) and changing textures into tactile stationery. Bound into a lovely 48-sheet notebook, every single sheet features a different specialty paper carefully selected to mirror the soft palette of spring flowers—from delicate pinks of plum, peach, and fluttering cherry blossom petals to the bright purples and yellows of roadside violets, daffodils, and rapeseed blossoms.
What makes this notebook truly remarkable is its signature sloped edge construction. Crafted with a stepped, sloped profile where each successive sheet is cut slightly larger than the one before it, the notebook reveals a stunning gradient of floral hues, paper weights, and tactile finishes along the exposed side. Ideal for fountain pen testing, scrapbooking, collage work, or simply savouring fine paper, every turn of the sheet offers a fresh sensory discovery.

【ABOUT THE BRAND】
Founded in Tokyo, Japan, in 1899, TAKEO is a legendary paper house that has spent over a century expanding the cultural, technical, and tactile boundaries of paper. Widely recognised as the global pioneer of "Fine Paper" (ファインペーパー), the company focuses entirely on creating high-grade, specialised printing substrates that blend rich sensory elements like unique textures, custom colourways, and intricate patterns. Operating at the intersection of graphic design, traditional craftsmanship, and industrial technology, TAKEO treats paper not merely as a blank recording surface, but as a vital physical medium meant to stimulate human emotion and elevate artistic expression.
Through their dedicated stationery line, TAKEO PAPER PRODUCTS, the brand transforms raw mill artistry into luxury functional tools for the desk, specialising in ultra-premium notebooks, custom envelope packs, and structural folder systems. They are celebrated for revolutionary proprietary sheets like Pachica—a paper that turns beautifully translucent when heat-stamped—and Tant Select with its delicate linen textures. Highly favoured by global designers, calligraphers, and bookmakers, TAKEO provides the ultimate fountain-pen-friendly canvas for those who appreciate the natural beauty and structural precision of elite Japanese paper craft.
