Midori Letter Pad Iyo Washi Otome Camellia
The refined beauty of Japanese camellia
The Midori Letter Pad Iyo Washi Otome Camellia belongs to Midori’s Kami Series, a collection dedicated to traditional Japanese paper that celebrates the beauty of the seasons through delicate floral designs. This edition features softly blooming Otome camellia flowers in a gentle pink tone, enhanced with a subtle pearlescent foil finish that adds depth and elegance without overpowering the design.
Even with just a few words, the composition conveys calmness and refinement. In Japanese culture, camellias symbolize elegance and quiet strength, making each sheet a graceful medium for personal letters, birthday greetings, or messages of appreciation.
