⭐︎Kunst & Papier, a stationery manufacturer based in Germany, specializing in notebooks ⭐︎ It seems they are not widely sold in Japan. This sketchbook features a simple design with a linen spine as an accent. The square shape is unusual and eye-catching. I fell in love with the design over 10 years ago and bought it, but never used it, so I am putting it up for sale. ・Unused ・Stored at home ・No pets, no smoking ▫︎Paper Natural, neutral paper that does not contain chlorine or high molecular compounds during papermaking is used. Therefore, it is designed to be compatible with various art materials. The surface is rough, lignin-free, and acid-free (pH value of 7.5 or higher). It has excellent pigment adhesion and is suitable for all dry techniques. Also ideal for mixed media, ink, and markers. ▫︎Cover The thick paper cover can be easily customized with collage, acrylic paint, paint pens, fabric, photos, labels, etc. ▫︎Spine The linen fabric connecting the covers also serves a functional role to enhance durability, and the unique binding method allows the book to lay flat at any page. - - - Size: 210mm wide x 210mm long x 19mm thick Weight: 445g (measured with my scale.
