Shikibun Handcrafted Red Pine Wood Notebook

This is a 'living notebook' made from unprocessed Japanese red pine shaved to an astounding thinness and then dried.  The soft fragrance of red pine is present.  Meticulously hand-bound; soft cover.  Cover sheath.  100 pages.  Size A6 ( 4"x6").  Lightweight and suitable for travel. As each page is alive, you will notice changes over time - perhaps a change of color, some slight warping or a tear along the grain - please enjoy this natural unfolding.  How different it is to face a moment of nature than a blank page.. the forest welcomes you with its own poetry and presence. Pen, pencil, brush pen, etc may be used - only mechanical pencil is not recommended.
