Therefore, the appearance and color of the pattern may change depending on factors such as the type of light, intensity, and angle. [Features] This is an accordion-style Goshuin book featuring a collaboration with "Kiryu-ori," a prestigious textile with a history rivaling that of Nishijin-ori. Each piece is handmade, from the selection of fabric to the completion of every step. [About the Work] Kiryu-ori offers a remarkably rich variety, ranging from pieces of breathtaking artistic beauty to those with unique worldviews, as well as stylish and cool designs. With a history spanning over 1,300 years, Kiryu-ori is a "treasure" imbued with not only weaving techniques but also the passion and dedication of the weavers who have carried on this tradition to the present day. I believe that Kiryu-ori is a material with infinite creative potential; it is a textile art form with diverse expressions, defined by its beauty, unique worldviews, and sophisticated designs. While the textile itself possesses high artistry, transforming it into a "form" allows it to be enjoyed more closely in everyday life. I hope this work reaches you and serves as an opportunity for more people to discover and come to love the charm of Kiryu-ori. I am particularly selective about the textiles I source, choosing materials that ensure a deep, lasting impression. Every material holds potential, and through the careful combination and expression of fabrics during production, I aim to bring out their most radiant beauty. My production philosophy is: "Ensure every textile shines at its absolute best." Please enjoy the allure of these textiles through this work. [Commitment to Handmade Quality] There are things that can only be achieved because they are handmade. I explore these possibilities by carefully engaging with each work. Every fabric requires a different approach. I break down the process, including the smallest details, and take the time needed to complete each piece. All works are made to order; I do not keep stock. This is due to the delicacy of the materials used to create these Goshuin books. Every material is highly sensitive, and the precise techniques required can vary depending on environmental conditions such as climate, temperature, and humidity. I prioritize "freshness" for every Goshuin book that reaches you, as it is a fundamental condition of "beauty." [The Essence] This is a special Goshuin book meant to accompany you as you visit shrines and temples with various thoughts in your heart. You will open its pristine white pages to welcome the presence of deities and Buddhas. With this important role in mind, I deliver this work with the hope and prayer that it becomes a place of peace for the divine, and a volume that brings good fortune to you. [Product Details] Cover Made of "Kiryu-Kinran textile" (synthetic fiber). It is relatively durable and resistant to fading, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful patterns for a long time. Please note that textiles (fibers) are sensitive to friction and snagging. It is recommended to use a Goshuin book bag or similar protection to maintain the beauty of this piece. Body 11 folds 23 pages on one side 46 pages on both sides *Excluding the cover faces We use accordion-style Hosho paper carefully selected by artisans. It is composed of two sheets bonded together, designed to be bleed-resistant, quick-drying, and easy to write on with a smooth flow for ink. Finished size: approx. 122x185x18 mm *Pulp fibers, wood particles, or small dark spots (impurities) that occur during the manufacturing process are inherent characteristics of Washi paper products. Please be aware that attempting to forcibly remove these may cause holes, tears, or unevenness. Please understand these as natural characteristics of Washi. [Woven Patterns] Front Cover Phoenix (Ho-o) Symbolizing "peace," "blessing," "paradise bird," "good fortune," and "power." Available in two colors: gold and vermilion (orange). The warm tones are very strong and impress with their powerful, vibrant coloring. Orange-gold is said to be a symbol of abundance and peace, and is also considered a color that evokes brightness and vitality. Back Cover Lotus Symbolizes enlightenment, purity, and the Pure Land. Because the lotus "blooms pure flowers out of the mud," it is considered a symbol of cleansing the heart and growing even amidst suffering. This lotus pattern is a storied design that has long been used for uchishiki (altar cloths), kesa (Buddhist stoles), and hōe (priestly robes). Deeply rooted in Japanese Buddhist culture, this pattern grants a sense of security and dignity to the owner, making pilgrimages to shrines and temples more solemn and meaningful. In terms of design, the curved forms of the lotus create elegance and dignity. The symmetrical composition creates harmony and has a calming effect on the mind. Gold symbolizes "light, enlightenment, and sanctity," giving a noble impression. Deep blue represents "profound wisdom and spirituality," evoking a sense of calm and formality. This contrast is an ideal color scheme in Buddhist art, combining refinement with majesty.
