Last year I started sketching, and for the first time in my life I started bringing art materials on my travels. I did the same when I went to Japan, except a couple of days into the trip at a Maruzen I stumbled upon a reasonably priced traveler’s notebook with watercolour paper. So this is the first time I used a dedicated sketchbook for a trip – thought it is quite apt that I am using a sketchbook from a japanese company on a trip in japan.
