If an item is out of stock, we can create a new one upon request. Please contact us. *Please note that delivery may take some time in such cases. The cover paper is screen-printed, resulting in a retro, woodblock print-like finish. The slight misregistration or faintness in the printing is intentional, contributing to its unique texture. Areas with multi-color printing may exhibit more noticeable registration shifts. Please enjoy these characteristics as part of its charm. *We advise those who are particular about printing registration to refrain from purchasing, as slight printing variations are unavoidable. The water-soluble ink used may transfer if rubbed vigorously. Please be aware of this. As this item will be handled frequently, we recommend using it with a commercially available Goshuin-cho cover.
