Canopus Note Notebooks

The CANOPUS NOTE reflects Yamamoto Paper’s commitment to precision and beauty in everyday writing. Named after Canopus, the second brightest star in the night sky that guides travelers across the southern hemisphere, this notebook embodies clarity, and lightness.

• A5 Notebook measures 148 mm x 210 mm
• 176 pages Canopus paper, specially developed to enhance ink performance

• Section-sewn along the spine, allowing it to open flat
• Rounded corners help prevent fraying, making it durable for daily use.

CANOPUS paper showcases the depth and beauty of ink, from subtle shading to vivid color transitions, without feathering or bleed-through. It provides a soft, natural writing surface that complements fountain pens, gel pens, and pencils alike.

Elegant, sturdy, and light in hand, the CANOPUS NOTE captures the quiet brilliance of its celestial namesake.
