This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, white Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Dassel, Germany, made on the same site since 1584. It is sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.
This book is decorated on recto, using vintage wood type printed on our 1882 Golding Pearl #1 printing press.
The book’s endbands and bookmark are goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in washi paper that was hand silk-screened with stylized chrysanthemums in Japan in a factory where kimono silks are decorated. Its spine is covered with Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Sandy, Utah.
The talisman in this book is a 100 yen Japanese bearing three chrysanthemums, which symbolize royalty, longevity, and rejuvenation in Japanese culture.
