This hand-sewn journal has blue Japanese paper with different size white circles on front and back. Depending on your point of view this beautiful paper looks like it is covered with bubbles or has an ocean look. It is called Yuzen Blue with white dots. I sewed it with blue linen thread in the coptic stitch. This enables the book to open completely flat for easy use. The inside endpapers are also blue. The 112 text pages are blank Strathmore drawing paper. SIZE is 6” x 4.”
