Jrnl O/S Bird & Red Ivy

The cover of this lovely journal is adorned with the reproduction of a 20th-century Japanese woodblock print.
The original image, entitled Tit on Paulownia, was created in 1934 by artist Ohara Koson (Shoson). A woodland bird perches on the stem of the paulownia, known in Japan as the ''princess tree,'' amid red leaves and blue berries. Gold foil tracery illuminates the ivy leaves. Raised embossing lends dimension detailing. Inviting journal provides 192 lightly lined pages for personal reflection, sketching, or jotting down favorite quotes or poems. Acid-free archival paper takes pen or pencil beautifully. Includes an elegant satin ribbon marker with which to keep your place. Gilded-gold page edging is a classic touch. A larger size: 7-1/4 inches wide by 9 inches high. Bookbound, with complementary endsheets.
