The Embossed Campus Notebook was an entry of the 2015 Kokuyo Design Awards. The designs on this notebook are expressed solely through embossing instead of printing. While regular notebooks are printed on large rolled paper, the Embossed Notebook requires ruled lines to be carefully pressed onto each page and cover page. They have to be perfectly aligned. You can also feel the movement of the light falling on the pressed ruled lines.
Each of the ruled lines on the model submitted for final judging was created by hand by creator Takashi Kubo. The amount of time and effort that went into creating it even made Mr. Kubo himself remark that he “will definitely not want to go through it again”. It did win him the 2015 Merit Award.
His protoype was rated highly not only due to the beauty of its minimalistic design that only retains the bare essentials, but also as a design that gives new value to notebooks, going beyond convenience.
With the large surface area of the B5-sized paper, the Kokuyo team had doubts as to whether the pressure was adequate for the finer details, and how much of the finer details could be expressed. While the commercialization project for this design started amidst much anxiety, the first prototype surprisingly exceeded all expectations. It was a new type of Campus notebook that had a completely different expression from usual commodities.

About Kokuyo
Founded in 1905, Kokuyo quickly became the industry leader in paper products — from account books to letter paper, forms and notebooks.
In 1960, Kokuyo ventured into a transition “from paper to metal”, producing their first filing cabinet. With the economy of that day and age — increasing complexity of administration x economic growth — there was a growing demand for know-how and office supplies to manage the ever-mounting pile of paperwork effectively.
