This paper is designed to be resistant to smudging and bleed-through. *We recommend using only one side of each page, as ink consistency can vary depending on where you receive your Goshuin. 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 is printed using screen printing, resulting in a retro, woodblock print-like finish. The slight misalignments or faintness in the printing are intentional characteristics of this style. Areas with multi-color printing may show more pronounced variations. Please enjoy these unique nuances. *If you are particularly sensitive to printing variations on the cover, we advise against purchasing, as some degree of misalignment is inevitable. The semi-water-soluble ink used may cause color transfer if rubbed vigorously. Please handle with care. As this book will be handled frequently, we recommend using a commercially available Goshuincho cover. "Hō-otodoshi" (Treasure Motifs) A pattern representing collected treasures.
