GOSHUIN Notebook featuring a cat, a symbol of good fortune."A wonderfully catchy notebook with playful designs of cats and koban (old Japanese coins) that will bring a smile to your face."
"Every Day is a Lucky Day" is the theme of "kichijitsu," a textile product brand that proposes traditional lucky charms and items, familiar to us since ancient times, in modern products for our daily lives.
This GOSHUIN notebook, with its lustrous "Hikari-orimono" (light weaving) fabric and vibrant colors, will brighten your mood just by holding it.
In Japan, cats have long been considered auspicious animals with protective powers and the ability to bring happiness. Because they can see in the dark of night, they were seen as symbols of warding off evil and bringing good luck.Furthermore, cats are considered lucky because they are said to protect property. In ancient Japan, rice was as valuable as money. Mice would eat this rice. Mice would sometimes eat not only harvested rice but also the ears of rice. Cats would catch and eliminate these mice. Cats would catch mice but not eat the rice, thus becoming important creatures that protected rice.
This design, which playfully subverts a proverb to make it seem as if koban are coming out of the cat, is full of whimsy and results in a heartwarming notebook.
It can be used not only as a Goshuincho (temple and shrine stamp book) but also freely for drawing long horizontal manga, as a guest book for weddings, an album, or a scrapbook.
