This book’s endbands are green and yellow cotton, and its bookmark is green satin ribbon. Its spine is covered in Buckram book cloth, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand silk-screened in Japan in a factory where kimono fabric is printed.
Treasure binding began with monks in the 6th Century who would encrust volumes with jewels. During the Renaissance, there was a resurgence in treasure binding. This is a contemporary revival of the treasure binding in which a lucky charm has been embedded in the cover of this book.
The talisman in this journal is an ancient Roman coin featuring a wild boar. It was found in Italy during the 20th Century.

This coin has lived in the pockets and pouches of many, and if to nothing else, it has brought good luck to itself in being found again.
