What is the difference between 'Enshu' and 'Bishu' written in the mini notebook cover names?
When choosing a mini notebook cover, unfamiliar place names like 'Enshu' or 'Bishu' appear in front of the color names. This raises the question of whether they refer to different fabric production regions, and what differences exist in the cover's texture or yarn blend.
They are the names of traditional Japanese textile production regions where the fabrics were woven; Enshu uses pure cotton, while Bishu weaves a variety of natural fibers centered around wool.
Enshu is plain cotton, and Bishu is thick woolen fabric.
The two words attached to the mini notebook cover names refer to representative traditional textile-producing regions of Japan. Enshu in western Shizuoka Prefecture is an area where high-quality cotton textiles developed thanks to its mild climate, while Bishu across Aichi Prefecture is famous for wool processing and woolen spinning.
Among the options to choose from for the mini notebook cover, Enshu sage wraps the cover in a 100% cotton fabric made of Enshu textile[1][2][3]. It is a woven fabric interlacing white yarn and green yarn, and the bookbinding was handled by Seibundo Co., Ltd.[4][5].
On the other hand, the Bishu options center on wool and generously blend other yarns. Bishu olive nep is woven with yarn that mixes Shetland wool and linen, and the fabric blend is 97% wool and 3% linen[6][7]. Another option, Bishu glen plaid, blends wool spun using traditional English methods with silk to create a glen check pattern, finished with 84% wool, 10% nylon, 4% cashmere, and 2% silk[8][9].
The textures felt at the fingertips also differ from each other. Unlike Enshu, where the neat smoothness of cotton wraps neatly in hand, Bishu conveys a cozy thickness, feeling the characteristic volume of wool and colorful yarn specks.
hmmm, Kakimori putting the textile production regions side by side in the cover names is close to asking you to choose while feeling all the way to the raw materials and weave of the cloth wrapping the paper at your fingertips.



The names of the local spinning workshops or specific manufacturers that wove the Bishu fabric have not yet been confirmed.
