Product Details

Product Details

This extra-large Goshuin stamp book is tailored for preserving your cherished temple stamps comfortably. Measuring 7.2 x 4.8 inches (182 x 121 mm), it is larger than standard stamp books, providing ample space without overflow.

Each book is handmade by artisans using traditional Japanese methods, featuring a paper cover that is PP laminated for durability. The inner pages are crafted from Iyo Hōsho paper, a domestic Japanese paper known for its superior ink absorption properties, reducing the likelihood of ink bleed-through. The innovative jabbalah fold design allows the paper to be used on both sides, yielding a total of 48 pages from 24 folds.

This stamp collection book showcases a whimsical design of cat paws, an engaging twist on traditional patterns that carry their own meanings. For instance, the Yagasumi arrow feather pattern symbolises a straight path, while the Seigaiha wave pattern represents continuous tranquility. It’s an elegant and humorous choice for anyone looking to document their journey through temples and shrines.

The book comes packaged in an OPP bag, making it easy to carry along for extended travels or long journeys filled with cultural exploration.
