![]() Again, there's an obvious attention to detail here that pleases the part of my brain that craves order and structure. The grid pattern is full-bleed across the pages, and I appreciate that the pages cuts are done in a way so that there aren't any awkward half or 3/4 grids around the boundaries of the page. The 5mm grid pattern is an old standard, and it's done well in this notebook. The paper inside the notebook is a pleasing eggshell color and performs really well with basically any kind of writing instrument. ![]() Overall, the branding is subtle and adds to the overall aesthetic thanks to the gold debossing. There's also a sticker on the back that is easy to remove. This branding features the logo in the top right corner, and then some product information in the bottom right corner. There's branding on the front of the cover, but nowhere else. ![]() You can tell a lot of care and attention went into the details when manufacturing these books. The outside of the notebook looks very clean and crisp. The different cover colors are indicators of the paper type inside, so my notebook is a cheery blue with black binding tape. The version I have is the A5 size with 5mm grid paper. In this case, the Yu-sari notebooks are something you don't want to miss. But if you have a product that excels in certain ways, you have justification to add it to the pool. On the surface, it's easy to dismiss these notebooks as yet another iteration of the same old A5 and B5 books that are already widely available from almost every stationery retailer in business.

The case is currently priced at $85, which is fair considering the design, materials, and construction. I will definitely use this one for storage, though, and I don't hesitate to recommend it if you're hauling a lot of wee pens around. While I don't find myself carrying this case, I think I'd use something similar in a two-pen design. A full-size TWSBI was too long, but it would fit most pens smaller than that. It's also worth noting that it can fit shorter standard pens. ![]() It would be good for bringing a collection to a pen show, so it may be the perfect thing if you visit a lot of shows. If I'm carrying a pocket pen, it's usually just one or two, and I've picked them because I'm going for a minimal carry or a light load. That's because I don't carry a dozen pocket pens at once.
