Actual specifications may vary from listing Each item is individually assembled and sewn by hand by a factory worker. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences. Color and print may vary slightly This material is first printed or dyed and then later sewn onto the cover. While colors are designed to be consistent, there may be uneven coloring or slight shade variances between covers. This may also happen across a single cover, such as a pocket compared to the rest of the cover. In addition, on rare occasions, there may be small black or white dots visible on the print. This is an unavoidable aspect of the manufacturing process. Cover may contain variations in stitching or loose lining When this cover is open flat, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose. Avoid storing in hot and humid places Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains. This is a simply designed techo cover printed with a botanical illustration of “Koshinso” by botanist Dr. Tomitaro Makino in 1901. Koshinso, painted in sumi ink and watercolor, is a perennial insectivorous plant that grows on wet rocks of the mountains in the north of the Kanto region. It was given its Japanese name after being discovered in Mt. Koshin in Tochigi Prefecture. The botanical illustration drawn over 120 years ago on June 30, 1901, delicately depicts the light purple flowers arranged horizontally and the stems that grow out from the flowers and warp back. Unusually for Dr. Makino's botanical illustrations, the background is painted in black. For the Hobonichi techo cover, a lovely blooming Koshinso flower is precisely printed on an ecru colored cotton fabric.
