The Original size is in yellow reminiscent of dandelions, the Cousin size is green like the stem of the Korogi-ran, and the Weeks size is in purple like a global thistle. One side is labeled by millimeter to act as a metric ruler, and a “Today” tab on the corner marks the current page if you’d like to use it as a bookmark as well.You might want to match them with a techo cover or Weeks, designed in collaboration with Dr. Tomitaro Makino’s botanical illustrations.
