The first lined edition in Hachimonjiya's original NOBLE NOTE series.

Inspired by the irises (Ayame in Japanese) that bloom in vivid colors in early summer.

Nagai City in Yamagata Prefecture is known for its irises, including unique varieties found only in the area. The flower is also a symbol of the city.

Irises have appeared in Japanese poetry and painting since ancient times and are associated with traditional customs and celebrations, including Tango no Sekku. The cover design reflects their elegant beauty and longstanding place in Japanese culture.

Unlike the cream-colored paper used in standard LIFE Noble Notebooks, this edition features white lined pages that make ink colors easier to appreciate.

For those who prefer lined pages, Ayame is now available in this new format.
