This Ashmolean Museum Set of 3 Midi Notebooks features a collection of three midi, foiled notebooks with alternating lined and blank pages. Each notebook has a different beautiful design: Embroidered Hanging with Peacock, Cloisonné Casket with Flowers and Butterflies, and Cranes, Cycads & Wisteria. With a sturdy cover and rounded corners, they are perfect to be carried everywhere!
The Ashmolean is the University of Oxford’s museum of art and archaeology, founded in 1683. The beautiful embroidered peacock hanging featured in this notebook set was presented to the Ashmolean Museum in 1958 by Sir Herbert Ingram, who travelled to Japan on his honeymoon in 1908. In Japanese culture the crane represents good fortune and longevity and is known as ‘the bird of happiness’ – a fitting subject for a newly-married couple.
