This hand-sewn journal has beautiful Japanese paper on the covers. The paper has a colored line pattern on both front and back covers. I bought the paper on a trip to Japan. The book is sewn in the coptic stitch with red linen thread. This sewing style enables the book to open completely flat. Inside covers have a golden brown Lama li paper from Nepal. 112 blank pages of Strathmore drawing paper are inside. SIZE IS 5.75” square
