Hobonichi Techo Cousin Cover [A5 Cover Only] Tomitaro Makino: Koshinso

Each item is individually assembled and sewn by hand by a factory worker. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences.This material is first printed or dyed and then later sewn onto the cover. While colors are designed to be consistent, there may be uneven coloring or slight shade variances between covers. This may also happen across a single cover, such as a pocket compared to the rest of the cover. In addition, on rare occasions, there may be small black or white dots visible on the print. This is an unavoidable aspect of the manufacturing process.Due to the structure of the cover that opens flat 180 degrees, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains.The silk print may eventually peel or come off with daily use. If using a Cover on Cover, the silk print may stick to the plastic and eventually come off with it from the constant contact.The material coating, tape, plastic, and other parts of this cover may weaken as the product ages over time.Because this cover has different specifications as to the standard techo cover, it cannot be used with the Cover on Cover.

• We now have the A5 size techo cover of Koshinso, the botanical illustration drawn by botanist Dr. Tomitaro Makino in 1901. You can take joy in Dr. Makino’s botanical illustration in a larger size.Koshinso, painted in watercolor, is a perennial insectivorous plant that grows on wet rocks of the mountains in the north of the Kanto region.
• It was given its Japanese name after being discovered in Mt. Koshin in Tochigi Prefecture.The botanical illustration drawn over 120 years ago on June 30, 1901, delicately depicts the light purple flowers arranged horizontally and the stems that grow out from the flowers and warp back.
• Unusually for Dr. Makino's botanical illustrations, the background is painted in black.For the A5 size cover, a lovely blooming Koshinso flower is ink-jet printed on ecru-colored cotton fabric.
• The matte texture is applied even to the edges of the original drawing, reflecting the atmosphere of the botanical illustrations drawn by Dr. Makino.Each of the two thin bookmarks is in a different color, one in light purple and the other in light green inspired by the Koshinso flower and stem.
