Sanpo Michi (Walking Path)| Notepad

This memo pad features an original illustration created by the Paper Message designer specifically for Hana Festival 2025.

This "Sanpo Michi" (Walking Path) design features a landscape you might gaze upon while strolling, gently painted in watercolor. It's dotted with wildflowers and familiar creatures commonly seen in spring and summer, including a single four-leaf clover.

It is the perfect size to attach to a small letter or thank you note. Just taking a simple note and sticking it in your room will create a very cute atmosphere. The paper has a smooth and rough side, so it is also recommended for wrapping very tiny gifts.

The notepad is made from a delicate light paper that accepts ink very well. The writing surface (rough side) is on the backside of the page. 

Details:

• 80 pages
• Dimensions: 3.5" x 5"
• Made in Japan

Meet the Makers

Paper Message is my absolute favorite stationery store in the entire world. It was started by a printing company in Kochi where the first store opened in 2009 to convey the fun and possibilities of paper and printing to as many customers as possible. I stumbled upon it during our visit in 2017 and fell immediately in love. In 2012 a store was opened in Kichijoji, Tokyo, (the absolute cutest neighborhood in Tokyo) where the store offers a variety of paper-related services, including the sale of original products and custom printing. Each store is like a stationery lovers dream and designed in a whimsical fantastical way. The design of the Pink Moon Goods is very much inspired by my visits to Paper Message.

Artist Okubojunko began working as a freelance illustrator and designer in her teens. Since 2010, she has been involved in planning, illustrating and designing paper goods for Paper Message. She is also involved in a variety of other activities, including live events with musicians, animation production, picture books and venue decorations.
