Unsodo's Hobonichi Techo 2025 Cover A5 - Shin-Bijutsukai (Flower) features stunning designs from the traditional craft design books Bijutsukai and Shin Bijutsukai, which were published during the Meiji period (1868-1912) by renowned Japanese painters and designers. These multicolored woodblock print collections were exclusively produced by Kyoto-based art publishing company Unsodo, the sole publisher of hand-printed woodblock books in Japan.
The Shin-Bijutsukai cover presents a floral design with intricate craftsmanship. The large, peony-like flowers are arranged on a lattice background, with soothing tones of blue, light blue, and brown. The combination of horizontal and vertical lines adds depth and texture, resembling tiles or stained glass. The flowers, with their slightly blurred colors and absence of outlines, stand out boldly. This cover showcases a unique and elegant style, perfectly suited for the A5 size. The pen holders feature a "butterfly-stopper" in brown and blue, while the bookmark charms take on a tile-like shape. The inner cover is a beautiful shade of blue. This captivating design dates back over 100 years, yet retains a novelty and modernity that will enhance your daily routine.
