April Limited Goshuin

Kirie Goshuin [Hanaikada (Flower Raft)]

Kirie Goshuin [Hanaikada (Flower Raft)]

This Goshuin features the characters for "Hanaikada (Flower Raft)," which likens the sight of cherry blossom petals floating on the water's surface and flowing in a band to a raft. It is expressed in kirie (paper cutting) to evoke the emotional scenery of spring. We pray that this month, the season of many "beginnings," will be a vibrant and good one. *Part of the design uses a technique where the laser output is adjusted to shave the paper (half-cut), rather than standard laser cutting, creating a unique expression. It is approximately A5 size (210mm x 148mm).

Distribution Period: April 1, Reiwa 8 - April 30, Reiwa 8
*May become unavailable depending on the situation.
