Start planning your trip

How do you choose your notebooks? A notebook that was purchased from a small residential printing shop became a huge topic in January 2016 on Twitter in Japan for being easy to use. That notebook is one of Nakamura Print Shop’s Flat Notebooks.
Flat Notebooks were created from the thought of “wanting to give students better writability.” President Nakamura has never forgotten about these feelings.
There are 20 types of Flat Notebooks available in total. You can choose a notebook that is easy for you to write in based on size, grids, and blank spaces.
There are also notebooks with Japanese writing paper for authors, sheet music paper for composers, and even a design notebook for designers. The design notebooks have a grid size of 4.55mm and have a layout that is convenient for drawing designs.
The Nakamura Grandpas that worked on the notebooks together with President Nakamura have retired due to age, but the legacy of both elders has been inherited by the current third generation, Mr. Toshihiro Nakamura.
The Flat Notebooks can be purchased at TOKYU HANDS, Kinokuniya Book Stores, and on Amazon. However, President Nakamura also welcomes you to come directly to the shop to purchase your notebook. President Nakamura may only be able to speak in Japanese, but he will introduce you to a notebook just for you.
You can sense President Nakamura’s thoughts and wishes not only from the attention placed into the Flat Notebooks, but also in the way he communicates with the customer. Definitely please visit the shop and witness his passion towards his work for yourself.
