This handmade "Hanami Brown" guestbook and photo album combines the most beautiful materials of Europe and Japan. It is ideal for storing your own photos or as a unique gift (e.g. for the birth of a baby or for a wedding).

The cherry blossoms are a traditional Japanese pattern which is here, hand printed in traditional Japanese technique. In Japan, Hanami is a very short period of time in Spring when the cherry blossom open and everyone goes to the park to take photos of the lovely blossoms before they fall to the ground. The blossoms are very delicate and light, they almost look like snowflakes at times. The back of this album is covered with sky blue bookcloth. The heavy cardstock pages of the album are separated by beautifully patterned glassine (pergamin) sheets to protect your photos and also to prevent any writing from transferring to the opposite page.

A satin ribbon to tie the album is optional. Please indicate when buying if you want the album to have such a bow.

To make this album even more more special, it can also be personalised with an embossed linen plaque, which increases the price by 13 GBP.
