Description
TOMIGAYA LETTERPRESS
A notebook for everyday use — letterpress cover with compact, precise type layout, 3.5 mm dot grid.
The Write Notebook by Tomigaya Letterpress is the notebook for everyday life. A5 format, 3.5 mm dot grid — tight enough to guide handwriting, open enough for anything else. The cover: soft cardboard, hand-pressed with vintage wooden type from the 1940s to 1970s on a historic letterpress. Visible scratches and faded ink from the aged type make each copy slightly unique.
The Cover: Condensed
On the Write Condensed, the cover typography is set in a compact, precise arrangement — the letters of the word “WRITE” closely spaced, clearly structured, with weight. The result: typographic reduction with visible conviction. Combined with the letterpress impression — the visible scratches and faded ink of the vintage wooden type — it creates a cover that is handmade and precise at the same time.
The Letterpress Cover
The cover of the Write Notebook is made of soft cardboard — not a hardcover, but a surface that makes the letterpress impression directly tangible: the imprint of the type in the material, visible and tactile. Tomigaya Letterpress uses vintage wooden type from the 1940s to 1970s — with natural scratches and dents that create a slightly different impression on each copy. No two covers are identical. No print is mechanically uniform.
The 3.5 mm Dot Grid
The Write Notebook features a 3.5 mm dot grid — specifically designed for writing. The spacing is tight enough to guide lines evenly, and open enough not to feel restrictive. The grid stays in the background — visible, but unobtrusive. Unlike the DRAW notebook (5 mm, for illustrations and sketches), Write is optimised for handwriting and daily notes.
As a Gift
The Write Notebook makes a gift for anyone who writes daily — journal writers, students, people who keep notes on paper. For starting a new job, beginning university, or simply because. The letterpress cover makes it more than an everyday notebook: it is an object with character that you enjoy holding.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Write Notebook by Tomigaya Letterpress?
The Write Notebook is an A5 notebook by Tomigaya Letterpress from Tokyo: soft cardboard cover with letterpress impression, vintage wooden type, 3.5 mm dot grid. It is the everyday notebook in the tape-bound line — handmade, with visible character.
What does “CONDENSED” mean on the cover?
“CONDENSED” describes the typography of the letterpress cover: the arrangement of the letters of the word “WRITE” on the cover. The “CONDENSED” cover has a compact, precise typographic layout. The other variant is “Random”.
What is letterpress printing?
Letterpress (活版印刷) is a relief printing technique using movable type: letterforms are pressed into the material, leaving a visible, tactile impression. Tomigaya Letterpress in Tokyo uses historic wooden type from the 1940s to 1970s — their natural scratches and dents make each print minimally unique.
How large is the Write Notebook?
The Write Notebook is A5 format: 210 mm tall, 148 mm wide, 9 mm deep. A compact everyday format that fits in any bag.
What is the 3.5 mm dot grid?
The 3.5 mm dot grid inside the Write Notebook is optimised for writing: tight enough to guide handwriting evenly, subtle enough not to feel restrictive. The dots stay in the background. This distinguishes Write from the DRAW notebook (5 mm, for illustrations).
What is the difference between Write, Draw and Love?
All three notebooks are in the same format (A5, tape-bound) by Tomigaya Letterpress. The difference lies in the interior: WRITE has a 3.5 mm dot grid (for writing), DRAW has a 5 mm dot grid (for drawing and sketching), LOVE has heart-shaped dots (decorative, emotional).
How is the notebook bound?
The Write Notebook has a tape binding: a thick adhesive strip wraps around the spine. According to the manufacturer, special care was taken with the adhesive quality — resulting in a flexible, durable binding.
What is the cover made of?
The cover is made of soft cardboard — not a hardcover, but a softer material that makes the letterpress impression particularly tangible. The surface is matte, and the impression of the pressed letters is directly perceptible.
Are all covers identical?
No. The vintage wooden type from the 1940s to 1970s carries natural scratches and dents that leave a slightly different impression on each print. Visible scratches and faded ink in the cover are intentional — they are the mark of genuine letterpress printing.
Who is the Write Notebook a good gift for?
For anyone who writes daily: students, professionals, journal writers, people who prefer notes on paper. The letterpress cover makes it more than an everyday notebook — an object with character that is a pleasure to hold and to give.
