Designed for bold, high-contrast contrast artwork and calligraphy, Sakura Hardcover Sketchbooks with black paper create a striking backdrop for gel pens, metallic inks, pastels, and other opaque media. The deep black surface makes highlights glow and colors pop, encouraging artists to build from light to dark.

The 140 gsm paper offers a sturdy, reliable surface that handles confident mark-making while maintaining a smooth feel for pens like Pigma Micron and Sakura Gelly Roll. Flat-lay stitched binding provides full access to each page spread, while the durable hardcover keeps artwork protected.

Thoughtful details include an elastic closure band, expandable inner pocket for loose sketches and notes, and a built-in pen holder. An exclusively illustrated sleeve designed by Marieke Sanchez wraps the notebook and doubles as a bookmark.
