This was a gift for my recently retired father. He always wanted to write his novel, so I wanted a beautiful, elegant but not gaudy pen. This was perfect. Its heavy, the details are gorgeous, and writes lovely.

This book is a treasure! Far more impressive than the photograph for the quality of care in every aspect of its construction. I got it as a gift for my partner as he tells wonderful stories of his childhood. Though he does not journal, I encouraged him to use this beautiful book to write those stories that they may be enjoyed by his children and perhaps grandchildren some day. I am an artist in the US, graduated from a well known art college. Freshman year, the Calligraphy class required that we create a book from scratch, including end papers, binding, cover etc. It took a month of serious effort and I am proud of my creation, but easily admit that this book far exceeds my own. It is simply beautiful.

This is a very nice hand made journal. The recipient loved it. Very beautiful paper and Buddha on the cover.
