Published during the Meiji era, Bijutsukai and Shin Bijutsukai are treasured collections featuring exquisite craft designs by various pattern designers, Japanese-style painters, and talented artisans whose names may have been lost to time. These beautifully crafted books showcase the art of multicolor woodblock printing and were published by Unsodo, a distinguished Kyoto-based art publisher and the only house in Japan dedicated to producing hand-printed woodblock books.
Hobonichi have selected designs from Bijutsukai and Shin Bijutsukai and made mini envelopes.
They are perfect for small tokens of appreciation, tips, or to enclose handwritten notes and messages. You can also attach them directly to your techo to make it a pocket for small items, memos, or precious keepsakes. These envelopes are remarkably versatile and practical in many creative ways. With each design a delightful work of art in itself, simply looking at them brings joy.
