This artisanal journal showcases traditional Japanese stab binding paired with exquisite covers featuring assorted patterns inspired by the rich visual heritage of Mughal art. Intricate floral and geometric motifs, printed on textured handmade paper, celebrate the opulence and symmetry characteristic of Mughal design.
Made using 100% recycled handmade paper, each page carries a soft, natural texture ideal for writing, sketching, or mindful reflection. The exposed spine stitching is not only functional but adds a decorative touch that honors centuries-old bookbinding techniques.
Perfect for journaling, poetry, guestbooks, or creative projects, this journal is a thoughtful gift or personal keepsake for anyone who values artisanal quality and sustainability.
For the cover we have chosen thick kraft handmade papers from our exquisite eco friendly recycled handmade papers and matched up contrast cotton threads for binding. Each book has 24 sheets or 48 pages of off white fine toothed unlined recycled handmade paper.
High Quality Handmade recycled textured paper made on handmade wooden deckles by PARWANA artisans.
Each handmade paper is handcrafted from a blend of plant remnants and recycled paper content. Long fibers make stronger paper so the paper is pre-soaked and blended as little as possible. We procure scrap paper from the largest wholesale-recycled paper market in Lahore, Pakistan. Paper collection is a trade that supports a network of paper pickers who collect industrial, printer and office trash and sift through piles of paper and sort it into various colour and textures by hand.
The paper is internally sized, it is neither too thick nor too thin, just the ideal weight, thickness and strength for hand lettering, watercolour, sketching, stamping, typing, bookmaking, and scrapbooking.
AS IS THE NATURE OF HANDMADE PAPER, THIS HANDMADE ITEM MAY HAVE SLIGHT IMPERFECTIONS
