Description The Paperblanks Ougi Journal in the Midi size is 5 x 7 inches and Smyth Sewn for durability. It has 144 lined pages, includes a memento pouch, and ribbon marker and features an elastic band closure. Maki-e translates from Japanese to mean 'sprinkled pictures,' a definition that perfectly captures the art form that has inspired this cover. Purchased from a private collector in Kyoto, the original maki-e lacquer box carrying this design dates back to either the Edo or Meiji period.
