Beyond its use for Goshuin, it's also perfect as a guest book or scrapbook. Available in a different color with the same pattern, this book can be used for the bride and groom at weddings, for example, as separate guest books. Size: Approx. 124mm x 180mm 24 pages (single-sided use recommended) Paper: White Hosho paper (110g/m2), double-layered with accordion fold. This Japanese-made paper is treated to minimize ink bleed-through. The cover paper is printed using stencil printing. The inner pages use a thick, high-quality Hosho paper called "Mizuho Kinari," making it perfectly suited for receiving your treasured Goshuin stamps. It is resistant to smudging and bleed-through. *We recommend single-sided use as the ink condition may vary depending on the temple or shrine. If this item is out of stock, we can create a new one for you. Please contact us. *Please note that delivery may take some time in such cases. The cover paper is printed using stencil printing, resulting in a retro, woodblock print-like finish. The printing may appear slightly misaligned or faded, but this is part of its unique texture. Areas with multi-color printing may show more pronounced print variations. Please enjoy these characteristics as part of its charm. *If you are sensitive to even minor printing inconsistencies on the cover, we kindly ask you to refrain from purchasing. Print variations are inherent to this process. The semi-water-soluble ink used may transfer if rubbed strongly. Please handle with care. As this book will be handled frequently, we recommend using it with a commercially available Goshuincho cover. "Hōjinori" (Treasure Pattern) A motif gathered from various treasures.
