Join me and Soraya as we share why we love Traveler's Notebooks, give an introduction to the many different refills you can use and stick around to find your perfect TN setup based on what you love to do.

  Hello everyone! I'm Ashley, a Yoseka team member, designer, and illustrator, who loves to document my travels and life events in watercolor. I bike to Yoseka every day - rain or shine - so I was really looking forward to the Washable Paper Notebook from Traveler's new B-Sides and Rarities series.  Since my backpack contents always get soaked after a trek through harsher weather, I was excited to put this notebook to the test. The inside paper is made from the same material as laundry paper tags, which makes it durable and water resistant. It has a nice, heavy, parchment paper texture...

Current state of our storefront - it’s getting filled with lots of boxes and different stationery 😊 And it will be getting even more crowded with our special Yoseka Origin series in the next few weeks as the May launch approaches. Thank you all so much for the support that has allowed us to work in a very safe and healthy environment. As our parents and members of the team are getting vaccinated, we are currently planning on being able to reopen safely in June. Until then, we are all making a big push towards the release of Yoseka Origin...

We were so excited when the Traveler’s team sent us a sneakpeek of TRC’s new B-Sides & Rarities collection a few weeks ago. This new line of Traveler’s Notebook refills features unique, quirky and off-the-beaten-path refills such as a Washable Paper refill, Super Lightweight Paper refill, Message Card refill, Letter Pad refill, and more special refills for you to further customize your own Traveler’s Notebook experience. The name “B-Sides & Rarities” was inspired by the A-side and B-side of vinyl records. Traveler’s explains that artists’ most popular works would often be featured on the A-side of a vinyl record, but...

When we receive Yoseka Notebooks, a great percentage of them are typically damaged. We are always heartbroken to have to count the ones that are in good shape so we can put them online. This time about half of them are damaged, and we were able to put 40 of them online last night.Back in 2018, when we first made this notebook with Conifer, we spent months to finalize the details, and we didn’t really expect much. We also didn’t see that Conifer would decide to stop producing the paper in Yoseka Notebook. (More details in Q&A we did with...

Growing up in Taiwan in the 90s, Doraemon is among some of the most well-known series. Doraemon is a blue human-sized robotic cat manufactured in the future. He time-travels back to the the present time to meet with the main character of the series, the 10 year old Noby. The time traveling portal is the main drawer of Noby’s study desk, and one day, Doraemon time-travels from the future and emerges from the drawer. Noby is not the smartest kid at school, so Doraemon would help out using gadgets from the future, and they are all stored in his belly...

Not February 29th 😀 It’s been a crazy 12 months since we first closed in-store. A lot has changed, and we are all adjusting and learning in the store and beyond. Personally, we’ve been trying to convince or sign up vaccine appointments for our parents, and thanks to the recent change in PPP loan rules, we can finally apply! This past month, we’ve worked on two big videos. One is on Sailor line width comparison and the other one is a feature on MU print-on stickers. We’ve been working on updating many color guides as well, and as always, we...
