Imagine a notebook that lets your thoughts breathe—where doodles dance with bullet points, and structure meets imagination 🎨✍️. That’s exactly what the new EMBRACE NOTE by Kokuyo is all about! Released on March 19, 2025, this A5 notebook is available at Kokuyo’s official stores (THINK OF THINGS, THE CAMPUS SHOP, KOKUYODOORS) and online, priced at just ¥990 (tax included).
This isn’t just a notebook—it’s a new way to think, write, and create. 💡📘
🌀 What Makes EMBRACE NOTE So Special?
At first glance, it may look like a regular ruled notebook. But look closer… the lines fade into nothingness! Yep, the ruled lines on each page start clearly on the left side, then gently fade as you move right, like waves at the beach 🌊.
This clever gradient design makes the border between lined and blank space feel soft and invisible, helping your logical thoughts and creative instincts blend together naturally. 💭🖌️ It’s great for:
-
Notes AND sketches
-
Structure AND imagination
-
Plans AND mind maps
-
Left brain AND right brain thinking 🧠✨
🖊️ Smart and Stylish Page Layout
You’re free to:
-
📄 Write your thoughts on the left side
-
🖼️ Draw your ideas or diagrams on the right
-
🧠 Organize on one side, and explore ideas on the other
Since there’s no harsh dividing line, your ideas can flow across the page like waves—connected but clear. It’s perfect for people who want to stay organized without feeling boxed in.
📖 Flat and Flexible Design
Even though it’s A5-sized (easy to carry! 📚), the EMBRACE NOTE opens up completely flat, letting you use it like an A4 notebook. That means:
-
More space to think
-
Easier to write near the center
-
Clean, wide view for brainstorming or study
Great for school, journaling, idea sketching, or creative planning sessions! 🎓📝
🏆 Award-Winning Stationery Innovation

By blending visual beauty and smart function, this notebook speaks to both your heart and your head 💖🧠—just like its name, EMBRACE, suggests.
