Turquoise Blue Cherry Blossom – Vintage Silk Kimono Journal / 牡丹桜柄ジャーナル
This limited-edition journal is thoughtfully crafted at Risa’s atelier in London, using silk reclaimed from an authentic vintage Japanese kimono. The fabric has been carefully sourced from small, trusted businesses in Japan, bringing a sense of heritage and quiet beauty into your daily writing ritual.
Each journal features an interchangeable, removable kimono cover—allowing you to reuse it with a fresh notebook once filled, or change covers to suit your mood. Please note: the colour of the journal itself cannot be changed.
The cover showcases a luminous turquoise blue silk adorned with delicate cherry blossoms and peony motifs. In Japanese culture, cherry blossoms symbolize the fleeting beauty of life, while peonies represent prosperity, grace, and feminine strength. Together, they create a harmonious design that feels both poetic and timeless.
Each journal is A5 size, bound and printed in the UK, blending traditional Japanese textile artistry with modern craftsmanship.

The Story Behind the Piece
Cherry blossoms and peonies are beloved motifs in Japanese art, each carrying deep symbolic meaning:

Renewal and Hope: Together, these flowers reflect renewal, growth, and the gentle passing of seasons.
