Daigaku Nōto

A typical study notebook with horizontal ruled lines is called daigaku nōto (大学ノート) in Japan.

Since daigaku (大学) means "university," and nōto (ノート) means "notebook," the literal meaning of daigaku nōto is "university notebook."

Despite its name suggesting a university-specific use, daigaku nōto is widely used by many people, regardless of whether they are students or not.

The origin of the daigaku nōto is a notebook made of high-quality Western paper, which was first sold in 1884 in Japan.

This notebook was available in a stationery store near the University of Tokyo.

In those days, it was considered a luxuary item, primarily used by students of the University of Tokyo, which led to the establishment of the name daigaku nōto.
大学ノート

等間隔に横線(罫線)の引かれた学習用のノートのことを、「大学ノート」と言います。

「大学」は "university'、「ノート」は "notebook" を意味するので、「大学ノート」の文字どおりの意味は "university notebook" です。

しかし、大学生であるかどうかに関わらず、大学ノートは多くの人が使用しています。

大学ノートは、1884年に日本で初めて販売された、高品質の洋紙で作られたノートに由来します。

このノートは、東京大学の近くの文房具店で売られていました。

かつては高級品であり、東京大学の学生くらいしか使わないということで、「大学ノート」という名前が定着したようです。
