If the item is out of stock, we can create a new one upon request, so please inquire. *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. Slight misalignments or faintness in the printing are intentional features of this technique. For areas with multiple colors, greater variations in print alignment may occur. Please enjoy these unique characteristics. *If even slight print misalignments on the cover are a concern, please refrain from ordering. Print variations are inherent to this process. The semi-water-soluble ink used may transfer if rubbed strongly. Please handle with care. As this item will be handled frequently, we recommend using it with a commercially available goshuincho cover. "Hō-zukushi" (Treasure Scroll) A pattern depicting a collection of treasures.
