I bought three full sheets of this paper several years ago at Kozo Arts, but no one ever seems to like it as much as I did. I still like it though. Playful and handsome at the same time.

Kozo Arts was a store on Union Street that sold handmade photo albums and journals and a selection of Chiyogami papers. They expanded to a second store in the Westfield Mall when it first opened, after we moved here, which was awesome because it was a lot easier to get to than the Union Street store—but I don’t think it was open for even a year. Last year they finally expanded to sell online, and I actually ordered paper from them rather than take the bus out there, but when I went to get the link for this blog post I saw the notice that they’ve closed the store. Disappointing.

The book is 5-1/2″ wide and 8-1/2″ high and about 5/8″ thick, with six sections of Mohawk Superfine 100lb paper (4 folios per section) for a total of 96 pages.
