Goshuincho Guest Book Karako Binonozoki Blue

This Goshuincho features a cover adorned with the auspicious "Karako" (Treasure Scroll) pattern. Goshuin is a stamp received at temples and shrines after a visit. A Goshuinchou is a special blank book designed to collect these stamps. Meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, it boasts a durable and well-crafted finish. Beyond collecting Goshuin stamps, this book is also suitable for use as a guest book or for scrapbooking. A version with the same pattern in a different color is also available. This makes them ideal for use as guest books for the bride and groom at weddings. Size: Approx. 124mm x 180mm 24 pages (single-sided use recommended) Paper: White Hosho paper (110g/m2), double-layered and accordion-folded. This Japanese-made paper is treated to resist ink bleed-through. The cover paper is printed using stencil printing. The inner paper is a thick, high-quality Hosho paper called "Mizuho Kinari," perfect for receiving your cherished Goshuin stamps. It is resistant to smudging and ink bleed-through. *As the ink conditions may vary depending on where you receive your Goshuin, single-sided use is recommended. If an item is out of stock, we can create a new one for you upon request. Please contact us. *Please note that this may require some time for delivery. The cover paper is printed using stencil printing, resulting in a retro, woodblock print-like finish. The slight misregistration or fading of the print is an intentional part of its charm. Areas with multi-color printing may show more pronounced registration variations. Please enjoy these unique characteristics. *If even minor printing variations on the cover are a concern, please refrain from ordering. Such variations are inherent to this printing method. The semi-water-soluble ink used may transfer if rubbed strongly. Please be aware of this. As this item will be handled frequently, we recommend using a commercially available Goshuincho cover.
