A research-based field guide to Japanese notebook sizes, planner formats, refill systems, and US buying options.

Why it surfaced

Bungu Atlas separates three questions that product labels often blur: how big a notebook is, which system it belongs to, and whether a US shopper can currently get it. Its comparison tool puts formats such as A5, Hobonichi, TRAVELER’S Notebook, Kokuyo Campus, and MD Notebook on the same millimeter grid.

August 15’s newborn domains include a live-aboard hydrogen airship with a two-tonne lift problem, a Japanese toolbox that explains its assumptions, an advisory-by-advisory Hawaiʻi hurricane archive, and a wedding-gift game about ungrateful poultry.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-15 Domain Arrivals issue.
