Whether you're on a scenic train ride or relaxing at your favorite café, the Penco Sketchbook invites creativity wherever you are. With its hand-held size and vintage inspired letterpress cover, this ring-bound sketchbook combines Japanese craftsmanship with a nostalgic design that makes you want to reach for it again and again.
At its heart is "HS Painting King" paper a textured, off-white surface specially chosen for its versatility. From watercolor to crayon, pencil to pastel, the surface absorbs beautifully and resists tearing or rippling, even under wet media. Choose from two weights (standard 121g/m² or thick 157g/m²) based on your preferred medium and pressure.
KIKU’s Tip:
Don’t be fooled by its modest footprint this sketchbook may be small, but it’s incredibly sturdy and thoughtfully built. The letterpress-printed covers offer tactile charm and a timeworn aesthetic that only improves with age. The paper’s quality is exceptional, strong enough for erasing and reworking, yet soft enough for expressive strokes.
The sturdy back cover makes sketching on the go easy, giving you the freedom to draw wherever inspiration strikes without needing a table.
