A closer look
This is a handmade journal featuring a fabric cover with a printed illustration inspired by Studio Ghibli characters, including Totoro and cats from "The Cat Returns." The cover material is a woven fabric with a matte finish, displaying a detailed, colorful scene with characters in various poses against a warm, brownish background. The spine is constructed with a contrasting solid-colored fabric, either red or dark brown, and is bound with visible, evenly spaced waxed thread stitching in a matching color, allowing the journal to open 360 degrees and lie flat. A metal clasp with an antique brass finish, shaped like a cat silhouette, is attached to a fabric strap on the front cover to secure the journal closed. The corners of the front and back covers are reinforced with ornate, antique brass-finished metal protectors.
The default inner pages consist of 400 sheets of 120g Daolin paper, which is blank. An alternative version is available with 240 sheets of 150g blank paper, designed for use with stickers. The paper block is thick, with clean-cut edges, and the pages are bound together using a single waxed thread for durability. The overall construction is robust, with the fabric cover neatly wrapped around the boards and the spine stitching providing both structural integrity and a decorative element. The journal's design combines a whimsical, illustrative aesthetic with traditional bookbinding
