RITSNO is a high-end leather notebook brand from Japan that was born in 2022 from the passion of two young people.
The name comes from "Ritsu" (law), which evokes strictness and regularity, and is a combination of the kanji character "Ritsu" and the particle "No," and as the name suggests, the products combine regularity and precision. They are characterized by their uncompromising commitment to quality, from the texture of the leather to the selection of thread, core material, sewing method, and edge polishing.

Designer Tomori trained in leatherworking techniques at the Ajina Leather Workshop in Ginza while attending graduate school, and based on that aesthetic sense and technique, RITSNO was born from the desire to "make things that people really want."
Our manufacturing motto is "to create products that will impress anyone who holds them in their hands."
He has a wide knowledge of art in general, including oil painting, flower arranging, calligraphy, and playing musical instruments. His oil paintings have been exhibited at the Tokyo Museum of Art, the National Art Center, Tokyo (Tokyo), Takashimaya Main Store Art Gallery, and Mitsukoshi Main Store Art Gallery. His aesthetic sensibility has been highly praised in many fields.

Our CEO, Akiyama, is exploring the possibilities of stationery, including planners. Akiyama never panics and approaches things calmly, and has the ability to skillfully find solutions even when faced with difficulties. With the desire to provide products that support creative expression, he founded RITSNO in 2022 while still a graduate student.

Ignoring the cost, simply pursuing the ultimate

Without exception, RITSNO products are thoroughly compared and tested, not only for the texture of the leather, but also for the selection of thread and core material, stitching method, and edge polishing. We pay close attention to every detail and make repeated improvements before finally taking shape as a finished product. It is not just a product, but a work of art, a crystallization of time and passion. The undeniable presence that can be felt every time you touch it is proof that we never gave up in our pursuit of our ideals.
