Cohana Ukigami bag set Japan Blue - 1pc

The Japanese brand Cohana offers products where quality, functionality and design are of utmost importance. All their items are produced in a traditional way in collaboration with the best companies in the country from as many sustainable materials and raw materials as possible.

The theme of Cohana’s Limited Edition for Summer 2021 is Japan Blue, which includes a selection of handicraft items in several blue shades. The colour blue is used in Japan for all sorts of daily items, such as clothing, tools and tableware.

This Japan Blue set, consisting of a memo pad, coloured pencils and a handbag, is a brilliant and original gift for all ages – ideal to take notes or jot down designs on the go.

The memo pad with grid paper lays completely flat once opened. The unique flat book binding, which was patented by Nakamura Printing Company, allows you to write on every part of the page. The cover is made with hand-drawn Ukigami (washi paper) that has been exclusively painted in a blue tint for the Japan Blue Limited Edition. The surface of the paper is uneven with a lovely sewing pin motif. The pages feature both thick and thin light grey lines forming grids measuring 2.5 x 2.5mm and 1 x 1cm. Very handy to draw cross-stitch patterns, for example. The memo pad can be closed with a blue elastic band and measures 16.7cm length x 9.5cm width x 0.7cm thickness.

The coloured pencils are provided in a sliding box that is made from blue-coloured Ukigami, just like the memo pad. Thanks to a little leather tag, the sliding box is easy to open. Of course, the little box can be reused, for example to hold business cards. The 6 coloured pencils (pink, yellow, green, blue, grey and black) are made by one of the oldest and most respected pencil manufacturers in Japan. A matching colour thread is wound on the end of each pencil. The coloured pencils are 88mm long with a diameter of 7.6mm. The sliding box measures 10.4cm length x 6.3cm width x 1.8cmm thickness.

The handbag made from blue cotton is ideal to store and carry around the memo pad and coloured pencils, but also to pop in a book or a newspaper. The handle is decorated with a leather tag with the Cohana logo. The handbag measures 19 x 13.5cm.

The complete Japan Blue set is stylishly packaged in white rice paper and finished off with a blue cord. The packaging measures 18cm length x 17cm width x 4cm height.
