TOKYO Leather Notebook Cover - Black
Whenever you see your home town on television or featured in a movie, you may feel as if you are visiting it for the first time.
When familiar places are spotlighted through the perspective of a camera, the usual scenery takes on a fresh glow, making you feel as if you have visited the places as a traveler.
Even walking through the same town, a traveler and a person who lives there may have different views. When local residents imagine the perspectives of travelers and travelers imagine the perspectives of local residents, the depth of the town’s scenery becomes deeper.
The TRAVELER’S notebook “TOKYO EDITION” and its customised items are designed with a focus on Tokyo, where TRAVELER’S COMPANY is based.
Walk through the downtown area dotted with sumo stables, take a bath at bathhouses called “sento” when you get tired, and drink a glass of “chuhai” (a Japanese liquor with soda) at an “izakaya” (a Japanese pub). Cross the river where houseboats float and you will be greeted by a temple with a history of over 1,000 years. If you get off at a station on the Yamanote line or subway, you will see a cityscape of skyscrapers, a scramble crossing filled with people, and the iconic tower rising like the symbol of the city. Enjoy delicacies such as sushi, ramen, “anmitsu” (a kind of Japanese dessert), “cream soda” (melon soda float), and “taiyaki” (a fish-shaped cake with filling inside). They are all part of Tokyo’s everyday life – at the same time, they are Tokyo’s sights and specialties that appeal to travelers as well.
We hope that by holding TRAVELER’S notebook “TOKYO EDITION” in your hands, you can enjoy Tokyo with the nuance as if you were living here while maintaining the fresh perspective of a traveler. Perhaps the next TRAVELER’S notebook may appear in your town.
The word TOKYO, expressed with icons symbolising Tokyo, is stamped in foil on the black leather cover. The special foil changes color depending on the angle from which it is viewed, inspired by Tokyo as a city, which shows various faces from different perspectives.
If you live in Tokyo, please write in it as if you were traveling here; if you are visiting Tokyo, please write in it as if you were living here; otherwise, please write in it as if you will travel to Tokyo someday!
