Detail
Stalogy - Japanese design at its best. They aim to raise the standard of stationery by removing whatever is unnecessary, leaving behind products so good, they should have already existed. "What should have been, is."
But that raises the obvious question - yes, this is, but what is it? A notebook? A journal? A diary?
After giving it some thought, we're going to go with 'yes'. It is all of these things. It's a well-made notebook, with 192 pages to cover 6 months. The pages are lightly gridded, so it could be a squared notebook. It's light enough that it's not too difficult to ignore, though, if you don't need a grid for what you're doing.
And right at the top of each page, in tiny letters and numbers, there's every date. All the months of the year, and the days of the week, and the numbers 1-31. Ignore them if your notes aren't date-specific, but if they are, it'll only take you a few seconds to underline today's date and turn a page into a journal entry or a plan for the day. (Circle or highlight if you prefer - it's all very flexible!)
And, almost unnoticeable at first, there are times in tiny digits down the edge of the grid. Again, they're easy to ignore when you don't need them, but if the day needs some planning, either the whole page, or just the left edge of it, can quickly become a visual summary of what you're doing and when.
In keeping with Stalogy's minimalist style, there's nothing extra. There's no expanding rear pocket. No elastic closure. No ribbon bookmarks. No pages for contents, No map of the world to mark with your travels, and no imperial to metric conversion page, or handy page to check what your shoe size is in the Philippines. There are no calendar pages, but Stalogy would probably like us to remind you that they make handy sticky-note style calendar sheets that could stick inside on any page.
