The cover painting, titled "Moon" by Zen master Gesshu Soko (1618-1696), is a large, single-character calligraphy for Moon. The autumn moon is a symbol of radiance but it can be the cause of delusion.  The back calligraphy reads "Not know bright moon autumn", by extension implying that enlightenment need not be conscious of itself.

One of the most influential designers of the 19th Century, William Morris strove to reintroduce a rich quality and uniform style into the decorative arts, attributes he felt were being lost to "progress".  These journals feature the artists work-in- progress on the front, with the printed design on the back.

Black Moroccan

Black Moroccan journal

Capturing the flavour of Renaissance-style binding at its zenith, this intricately embellished journal is unique, tactile and so very pleasing to the eye.  During this remarkable period, manuscripts were renowned for their exquisitely crafted covers made of fine Moroccan leather with delicate handtooled gold foliage patterns.  Brought into Europe via the flourishing trade routes with the Far and Middle East, this style of ornamentation leant a new vibrancy and lightness of design that was not present in mediaeval manuscripts.

144 lined pages, 7" x 9", wrap design, smythe sewn binding, memento pouch, acid-free sustainable forest paper.
