I bought this red and black textured paper on a trip to Japan a few years back. The paper looks wonderful on this hand-sewn journal. The journal is sewn in the coptic stitch with red linen thread and the sewing style enables the book to open completely flat. This blank book is small but chunky with 192 pages of Strathmore Drawing Paper. Inside endpapers are matching black paper. SIZE is 4.25” square.
