About

ILIYA — Brand Philosophy
ブランド哲学

ILIYA is not just a notebook brand. It is a quiet vessel formed by silence, proportion, and restraint—responding to il y a (“there is”) and the Japanese sense of ma (the meaningful interval). Before any word is written, presence already exists.

A5 · 60 pages (~90 g) · Cream Kinmari 72.5 kg · 5 mm dashed-line grid · perforated pages · saddle-stitched binding (opens wide, nearly flat)

Silent Tools

A tool need not shout. Blank pages hold possibility; a blade draws a line without words.

Intervals & Margin

The page’s quiet space and 5 mm dashed grid guide thought without binding it—an expression of ma.

The Gift of Letting Go

Perforations let you discard what you don’t need, or share a page you do. The notebook grows lighter with you.

Inheriting emptiness, inscribing being — a quiet structure where your presence unfolds.
「空を継ぎ、在を綴る──あなたの存在が立ち現れる、静かな器。」
