Hi, this is Iwasawa.

Today I’d like to introduce the “Fireside Chat Note.”
To be honest, I’ve always worried it might be getting overlooked among all the other stationery.
So I’d love to tell you what makes it so great!



Here’s the “Fireside Chat Note.”
There are four versions, and each one comes in two sizes: B6 and B7.

First, I love the cover colors.
They’re bright and cheerful, and just holding one makes me happy.
And there’s something here that always makes me smile when I see it!



It’s the spine of the notebook.
The thread used to bind the paper is a different color for each one, and I love how it looks with the covers. You can really feel the care that went into the little detailsーit gets me every time.

Let’s take a look inside.



There are four kinds of inside layouts too.
The one with the pale gray cover is graph, the pale salmon one has lines, the blue-gray one is dot, and the yellow one is plain.

And check out the cute little design touches inside!
They’re inspired by words from “Safety Match,” printed on the cover.
Like how you’ll find the word “today” or a little smiley face in the corners of the pages,


The “today” text is in the graph type, and the smiley is in the plain one.

Or a little moon hidden among the dots,


And there’s even a star hidden somewhere else!

Or a curly line mixed in with the ruled lines.


Some of the lines even wiggle!

There are all these playful little surprises in the designs, and finding them gives me a tiny burst of joy.

So, I started thinking about how I could use this cute “Fireside Chat Note,” and I decided to pair it with my 5-Year Techo! At the end of last year, I finished my first 5-Year Techo and started a brand new one this year. This time, I’m trying to use it a little differentlyーby not sticking things in it.

In my first one, I loved pasting in all kinds of little things, but as the years went by, it got thicker and started leaning to one side. It made it harder and harder to write in.


Here’s my old 5-Year Techo. The top part of the pages got bulky and kind of messyーlooking…

Still, after using the new one for a few months, I started to miss something. It is really nice to have those little things tucked in with your memories.

So I thought, why not paste things into the “Fireside Chat Note” instead, and keep it with the 5-Year Techo?


For example, sweet letters could go into the “Fireside Chat Note.”

The paper in the “Fireside Chat Note” is Tomoe River, so it’s super thin and light.　Even if I carry it with my 5-Year Techo, it won’t feel bulky. And since it’s got a lot of pages, I can paste in as much as I like!

It even fits right inside the 5-Year Techo cover, so it’s great for carrying around. I can take it out when I want to write, and maybe even use a different design each year for fun.


I used the B7 size. It fits perfectly inside the Techo without sticking out.

The “Fireside Chat Note” and the 5-Year TechoーI think they’re a perfect match, and I’m really excited about using them together.

This is the last entry in the “Covers & Stationery Highlights” series.
I hope this one helped you discover something new to try!
