Uematsu Hobi: Box Decorated with Chrysanthemums (Soft Touch Journal)

Soft Touch Journals, the new paperback notebook series from Flame Tree featuring a range of popular designs by artists and Illustrators, are lightweight journals with the same high-quality production as our hardback journals. Our trademark blend of the practical and beautiful, with gold-foiled page edges, gloss detailing on the tactile matt cover, and lined pages, they’re perfect for notes, creative writing, poetry, doodles and lists. Easy to slip into your bag, a pleasure to use. Simply, they feel good!

This beautiful box is designed by lesser-known artist Uematsu Hobi. It was decorated with blossoming chrysanthemums and the poem, tsuyu no ma ni, the letters of which are embedded in silver. The background and edges are sprinkled with gold powder and portions of the blossoms and leaves on the top of the box are repeated on the sides.
