The bibliophile classic event. This luxury edition, limited to 500 hand-numbered copies, comes in a decorative box. The cover is made of printed and foil-stamped fine linen, featuring colored thread stitching and two-color printing (decorative color red) on satin paper, making this edition a bibliophile treasure. A bundle of exquisite paper served Sei Shonagon as a notebook a thousand years ago. She confided in it her thoughts, including confidential and delicate matters from the private chambers of the imperial palace. Whether she describes witty dialogues, an intimate tête-à-tête, or paints the Iris Festival, her impressions appear as if brushed with ink into eternal images. Never has one heard a woman speak so inspiredly about herself and her world! Sei Shonagon's "Telegrams" from a legendary high culture provide profound insights.
