A Special Rhodia You Can Only Find in Japan. The Sophisticated Japanese Modern "KISSHO MONYO" Series from French Brand "Rhodia" Arrives July 10th!

Quo Vadis Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo), which develops the French stationery brand "RHODIA (Rodia)", will simultaneously release new highly anticipated products to color the summer 2026 lifestyle, including the second installment of the Japan-exclusive "Block Rhodia" series, the "KISSHO MONYO" collection, starting July 10, 2026.

"Block Rhodia KISSHO MONYO" Woven with Crisp White and Japan Blue

The theme of this collection is "Kissho Monyo" (auspicious patterns), which have been cherished as lucky patterns since ancient times. We have created a modern collection by combining crisp white and sophisticated Japan blue (indigo) with the Made in France Block Rhodia. The back of the notebook features the collection name and each pattern name designed in English, making it ideal as a souvenir for tourists who want to take a piece of Japan home with them. The lineup features four patterns (Seigaiha, Asanoha, Ichimatsu, Yagasuri) with stories that send subtle encouragement to the user's daily life.

SEIGAIHA (Blue Wave Pattern) [Peace/Continuity] Symbolizing gentle happiness from the way waves overlap and continue. ASANOHA (Hemp Leaf Pattern) [Health/Protection from Evil] With wishes for health and freedom from illness. ICHIMATSU (Checkerboard Pattern) [Prosperity/Continuity] Symbolizing business expansion and development as the pattern continues without interruption. YAGASURI (Arrow Feather Pattern) [Straight Progress/Achievement] A strong will to push forward towards goals, as an arrow shot does not return.

The popular No. 11 (A7) size, which boasts overwhelming popularity among Rhodia products, is used. The cover is equipped with three lines (creases) that allow it to be folded back 360 degrees, and it also offers excellent water resistance and durability.

The 5x5mm grid is a special "blue" specification planned exclusively for this limited collection.

It uses smooth vellum paper that is compatible with any writing instrument, and the micro-perforation allows for easy tearing.

It has obtained "Forest Stewardship Certification" in France, which certifies that forests are managed sustainably, and "Chain of Custody Certification (CoC Certification)" which proves that wood produced from those forests is used for production and processing. (PEFC/31-44-1450)

The back cover uses a cardboard backing. Furthermore, it features a safe finish (Sangrif) where staples are not exposed on the surface, allowing for stable writing even when held in hand on the go.
