Exquisite Gift
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.
Very Precious! A Dream Come True : )
Growing up, I loved the book “ Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There”. In the book was an insect known as a ‘Rocking-Horse-Fiy’. I drew one, of my own interpretation, but I lost all of my things, including all of my drawings, in a fire many years ago and could not quite capture the original thought that I had after that. When I saw this beauty I just had to have him! I was not disappointed either. He is just the cutest! I thank the artist, Togo’s Suyasa, for this wonderful sculpture that he has shared with us. It has made one of the pictures that I drew years ago come to life. Of course this is a beautiful Flying Rocking Horse and not the cute insect from the book but I will hold this beautiful sculpture just as precious to my heart.

Magnificent!
I ordered this as a gift for a friend. It arrived in perfect condition, beautifully wrapped in heavy paper decorated with a hand-made straw figure. The journal itself far exceeded my expectations-the cover is totally unique, and the mask and embossing on the cover are exquisite. The binding is sturdy and the paper inside is handcrafted. My friend and I were blown away by how much care and attention to detail went into this journal. 100% recommend. Thank you, Komang, for such a treasure!
