A marquetry work by Yuta Shimizu of "Luthier," a studio specializing in marquetry in Hakone, Japan.
In addition to the delicate beauty of the traditional craft of yosegi-zaiku, in which various types of wood are combined and arranged, the charm of this work is that it has a somewhat modern atmosphere.
As the piece is used more and more, each grain of the wood takes on a different appearance and develops a deeper flavor. The warmth and natural texture of the different wood materials match perfectly with the leather of the Traveler's notebook. As it is used daily, it will change over time and its color will change.

★ Ruler 12 colors 12cm
Size: Body/H20×W120×D2mm
Twelve types of wood were cut into 1 x 1 cm pieces and joined together using the parquet technique to create a 12 cm ruler. It is not suitable for measuring in detail in millimeters, but it can be used to draw a straight line or get an approximate size.
★ Charm Square / light brown, dark brown
Size: Package/H95×W60mm, Main body/H27×W27×D6mm
The key point is that the holes for the rubber are almost diagonally aligned, so when fastened to the Traveler's Notebook, they form an angle. The diagonal square is also known as a diamond shape. Why not decorate your Traveler's Notebook with the marquetry diamonds?
