Description The Paperblanks Ougi Journal in the Mini size is 3.75 x 5.5 inches and Smyth Sewn for durability. It has 176 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.
