Goshuincho Guest Book Cat Design Vermilion

Crafted with a vibrant red cat-motif design on the cover, this Goshuincho is a unique book for collecting temple and shrine stamps. Goshuin are stamps received at temples and shrines as a memento of a visit. A Goshuinchō is a special blank book designed to hold these stamps. Expert artisans meticulously handcraft each book, ensuring a well-finished and durable product. While perfect for Goshuin, this book also serves beautifully as a guest book or a scrapbook. Available in a different color with the same pattern, it can be used as a guest book for the bride and groom at weddings. Size: Approximately 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 minimize ink bleed-through. The cover paper is printed using stencil printing. The inner pages are made of a thick, substantial Hosho paper called "Mizuho Kinari," offering excellent quality for preserving precious Goshuin stamps. It is resistant to ink feathering and bleed-through. *We recommend using only one side of each page, as ink density can vary depending on the temple or shrine. If this 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 printed using stencil printing, resulting in a print that has a retro, woodblock print aesthetic. The prints may show slight misalignments or inconsistencies, which are characteristic of this printing style. Areas with multi-color printing may exhibit more pronounced plate shifts. We hope you enjoy these unique artistic touches. *If even minor printing variations on the cover are a concern, we kindly ask you to refrain from ordering, as some degree of printing variation is inevitable. The use of semi-water-soluble ink means that the color may transfer if rubbed vigorously. Please be mindful of this. As the book will be handled frequently, we suggest using a commercially available Goshuincho cover. "Hōjin" (Treasure Collection) This pattern features a collection of treasures, believed to have originated in India and passed through China to Japan. Over time, auspicious Japanese motifs were added, evolving it into a uniquely Japanese design. It symbolizes wealth and good fortune. Origin / Production Method Paper, printing, and production are all made in Japan.
