Paperblanks 2026 12-Month Japanese Kimono Weekly Maxi Vertical Hardcover Diary

The Kara-ori Pink pattern captures the essence of traditional craftsmanship with its sumptuous silk dyed using beni, a pigment derived from safflower petals, and adorned with gilded lacquer. This design is rooted in the Edo period, when it served as part of a kimono worn in the esteemed theatrical performance known as Noh. The intricate embroidery reflects the rich cultural heritage of Japan, while also inspiring Paperblanks’ inaugural design of the Kara-ori series. The result is a striking diary cover that brings a piece of historical artistry into the modern world, perfect for those who appreciate the elegance of classic Japanese aesthetics.
