Aqua Blossom Chiyogami Journal Cream Lined
Indulge in the exquisite craftsmanship of this handmade book, meticulously created by Handmade Cactus Bindery. Perfect for journaling, sketching, or as a treasured keepsake, this book features:
Silkscreened Aqua Blossom Chiyogami Cover Paper: The cover is adorned with stunning aqua blossom chiyogami paper. Chiyogami is a traditional Japanese decorative paper known for its intricate patterns and vibrant colors. The silkscreening process involves applying ink through a mesh screen onto the paper, creating a rich, textured design that captures the essence of artisanal craftsmanship. Each color has to be done separately by Japanese artisans who make this beautiful paper the same way it has been done for almost 400 years.
Premium Japanese Bookcloth Spine: The spine is wrapped in the highest quality Japanese bookcloth available, offering a luxurious texture and exceptional durability. This premium material ensures a sophisticated and resilient finish. This bookcloth is my absolute favorite and will be featured on many books in the future!
Built-In Gold Bookmark: A built-in gold bookmark adds a touch of elegance and practicality, allowing you to easily keep your place in this beautiful book.
70lb Acid-Free Cream Lined Paper: Inside, you’ll find 70lb text weight cream lined paper that is both acid-free and crafted for a smooth writing experience. The paper’s high quality ensures longevity and a delightful writing surface.
Handmade Italian Text Block: The text block is handmade and imported from Italy. This allows us to offer this book at a lower price and also gives us the option of lined paper. With 144 sheets (288 pages), the book provides ample space for your creative endeavors.
This handcrafted book marries tradition with elegance, making it a perfect addition to your collection or a thoughtful gift for someone special.
If you are buying this as a gift, please leave your personalized message in the special requests form and it will be included with your order (written on a vintage 1965 Royal Caravan typewriter on colored and textured cardstock).
