CIRO Style A5 Slim Journal - 7mm 'White' Ruled | Graphilo

While most notebooks focus purely on the act of "writing," the CIRO notebook was developed with a revolutionary concept in mind: to "read beautifully." Every element of this remarkable notebook, from the cover to the inner core, is 100% pure white, creating an unparalleled minimalist aesthetic.

The most striking feature of the CIRO is its highly technical white-on-white 7mm ruled lines. From a distance, the page appears completely blank. But as you lean in to write, the delicate white lines emerge as a perfect guide. This ensures that when you read your notes later, the lines vanish, allowing your ink's colors and properties to take center stage without any visual interference.

Inside, you will find the legendary GRAPHILO paper. Custom-coated specifically for fountain pens, it offers a luxurious, gliding writing experience (often described as "nura-nura" in Japanese). Because it is designed to hold ink beautifully on the surface, it is an absolute dream for showcasing heavy sheen, multi-tonal chromashading, and rich saturated dyes with virtually zero feathering or bleed-through.

Despite its generous 188 pages, this notebook opens 180-degrees perfectly flat. Master Japanese bookbinders utilize a highly precise thread-stitching technique, manually removing the stiff cardboard from the spine to eliminate resistance and allow for effortless, edge-to-edge writing.

As a thoughtful finishing touch, each notebook includes a perfectly sized sheet of "SUITO" blotting paper to protect your pages while your specialty inks dry.
