Jishoru is a dictionary-style notebook designed to collect meaningful words at your own pace. Entries are organized in Japanese kana order (aiueo), allowing you to look up words like a dictionary and gradually build a personal volume of treasured language.

The concept was developed through an industry–academia collaboration and carefully refined to reflect students’ ideas and the craftsmanship of printing professionals.
