This is an elegantly understated design using vivid, Japanese, hand-printed cover paper in gray and orange. The paper is called "Katazome-shi," literally meaning stencil-dyed (katazome) papers (-shi), and is also referred to as "Wazome." As the name implies, they are stenciled using traditional materials and the care that comes with craftsmanship, by hand, to produce unforgettable, intense colors and patterns. This simple but beautiful pattern is matched with a bright orange binding cloth with a thin, dark gray Unryu trim strip between the two.
We hand-make our guest books from the finest, archival materials. We use paper and book cloth from all over the world to create unique and beautiful books. The interior pages are made from an 80# text warm off-white paper that has an elegant felt finish. Our materials are archival and chlorine-free. We hand sew our book blocks so that our books will lie flat when opened. The guest book is available with lined or blank pages. We print the pages with soft gray lines spaced 1/2" apart.
Consider adding a name and date to a wedding or memorial guest book. We can personalize the title page of any book by printing a name, date, quotation and even a picture. We custom design the colors, text styles, and layout to your specification and send you proofs in PDF form for review, correction, and approval. We can also include a matching tent sign that can be placed near or behind the book to encourage guests to sign the book.
