Sikigu Pad Note “DEJIMA” Edition – A5 Grid

A notebook that feels rather more like a collaboration than a mere object. The Sikigu Pad Note “DEJIMA” Edition in A5 Grid brings together thoughtful Japanese craftsmanship and the expressive work of international illustrators, all centred around the quietly universal theme of family.

At its core lies the ingenious Pad Note structure: folded sheets bound with a precisely balanced adhesive. Pages remain firmly in place as you write, yet peel away cleanly when needed—no resistance, no ragged edges. Once removed, each sheet opens into a full spread, offering a generous canvas for ideas that deserve a little more room.

The notebook lies perfectly flat, making writing a rather effortless affair, while the illustrated covers—by Peko Asano, Yosuke Yamauchi, and Amélie Fontaine—lend each edition a distinct personality. It’s practical, certainly, but with a gentle artistic sensibility woven throughout.
