This hand-sewn journal uses a Japanese paper on the front cover that I bought in Japan. The paper has a gold wave pattern on a white background. The gold follows through on the inside covers with a gold and green paper. Back cover has a cream colored Japanese paper. The book is sewn with white linen thread in the coptic stitch which enables the book to open completely flat. Inside 112 text pages of Strathmore drawing paper. SIZE is 4." x 6".
