Noritake's original softcover notebooks on the themes of rain, cherry blossoms and business directory:

The notebook 'Rain' with blank, blue pages includes as an introduction, on a separate insert, the poem “La Pluie” by the French poet Francis Ponge (translated into Japanese by Koichi Abe).

The 'Sakura' notebook, with its blank, cherry blossom-colored pages, contains randomly scattered paper cherry blossom petals between the pages, evoking the falling splendor of the beautiful, yet short, cherry blossom season.

'Yellow Pages' with its blank, yellow pages is reminiscent of the 'Yellow Pages' business telephone directories. A fun notebook for all those thoughts that need to be put down on paper.

Japanese graphic artist and illustrator Noritake is known for his friendly, minimalist, and monochrome illustrations. His pared-down visual language eliminates the superfluous and is extremely memorable.
