The Brand: “Paper that can be used with peace of mind any time…” Maruman is over 100 years old and still headquartered in Tokyo. They love paper and love what they do! The company, now run by a father and son, is known for having a close eye on the details. They even have someone (a “paper master”) who checks the paper daily as it’s being made.

Description: These spiral-bound books are filled with a medium weight drawing paper and each one has a cotton tie closure to keep your work safe and secure. The pages have a rougher side and a smoother side making it a great sketchbook for a variety of drawing media. We like it paired with our Pencil Bundle for a sweet gift that is ready to be used by any and all creative folks.

Details: 9 x 6 1/2 inches, spiral-bound, extra thick cover and back cover, cotton tie for closure, 20 sheets of medium weight cold press paper, good for graphite, charcoal, pastel, ink, pencil, pen, marker (pretty much anything)

A Note From Erika: This one is a nice size for taking on the road or on a hike. People really love the spiral binding because it lays flat.
