RESEARCH NOTES is designed for those who love to explore and document their daily adventures. Built around the spirit of "explore more", this notebook series is perfect for recording various aspects of life — be it culinary experiments, movie critiques, coffee tastings, travel journals, or any personal research.

Comes in two sizes, two paper types, and two page layouts, offering greater flexibility for journaling, sketching, and note-taking.

｜Durable, Water-Resistant Pages

Each notebook is made with acid-free, high-strength paper that is resistant to tearing, even when exposed to moisture. Its water-resistant properties ensure smooth writing with fountain pens, preventing ink smudging or bleeding through pages. Suitable for most writing instruments and drawing tools, making it a versatile companion for all types of journaling.

Whether you’re jotting down recipes in a bustling kitchen, sketching over a morning coffee, or taking notes outdoors in unpredictable weather, Research Notes ensures that your ideas are captured without worry.

｜Why Thread-Bound?

Unlike standard stapled notebooks, RESEARCH NOTES is stitched by hand to ensure greater longevity. In Taiwan's humid climate, staples can rust over time, whereas thread binding provides a more durable and comfortable writing experience.

Beyond Water-Resistance – A New Standard for Writing Comfort

Unlike traditional waterproof notebooks that repel water entirely, Research Notes is made with a special water-resistant paper that:
✅ Absorbs water only on the surface without affecting the entire page
✅ Prevents ink from smudging or transferring to other pages when closed
✅ Feels and writes like regular paper, offering a natural and satisfying writing experience

｜What Sets It Apart?

This innovative paper combines five essential features that were once thought to be impossible in a single notebook:

Water-resistant (absorbs minimal moisture and dries without damage)
Tear-proof (highly durable, resistant to wear and tear)
Ink-friendly (compatible with a wide range of writing instruments, from fountain pens to ballpoints)
Anti-feathering & bleed-through (ensures clean, crisp writing on every page)
Feels like normal paper (no plasticky texture—just smooth, effortless writing)

Yet, the brand has found this special paper and use it to produce the water-resistant version of Research Notes (RN). The brand is proud to present the very first notebook that contains these five features at the same time in the world.
