What is the English equivalent of an 意匠ノート?


I came across the term 「意匠ノート」as a type of notebook. Translated, I guess it
would be a "design notebook," but I'm not sure what that means? A drawing
book? A notebook with graph paper for architectural designing? If anyone has
any insight, would appreciate it!




「意匠ノート」 doesn't means 'notebook for designer'.

「意匠ノート」means ... Notebook that have not only notebook feature, but also good
looking (or / and) more useful design.

Japanese stationery maker KOKUYO uses the word "意匠ノート" well. Those are
slightly useful or slightly beautiful. (in Japanese ちょっと便利 or ちょっとかわいい ).
