Why fieldnote?

Toughness : It is
designed for outdoor use, as it's nature. It's thick hard cover
enable to take a note in any posture. As you start to use
indexcard, you will find many situation you cannot write indexcard.
Ideas emerge in anytime/anywhere, in a train, in a bed, in a
darkness. The fieldnote is the best as idea capturing media in such
situation.
Reasonable : Kokuyo's fieldnote costs almost only $1. Surprisingly, the quality is enough good even such reasonable price. I use the fieldnote as temporal memory in metaphor of "virtual memory" on computer. It works well if it won't cost too much. Imagine if a note costs $20, like Moleskine does, one surely hesitate to write small ideas on it. A high price makes us feel that we have to write something "important". However, it doesn't make sense if we don't use a note in daily base. A note should not be a "souvenir". The low price (but high quality) of the fieldnote makes me feel free to write anything.
