Sutta Design creates the Kitsugi art notebook, which is made with a distinctive look inspired by Japanese culture and craftsmanship. Ceramic pots are made by hand and result in an intricate design due to their fragile material, which serves as the main influence behind the look of these journals.
A small movement is enough to break a beautiful vase into carious pieces or at least create a crack. The Japanese believe that it can still be fixed, which is the practice of kintsugi -- the traditional art of pottery repair. Using golden lacquer, the cracks are filled and patched up to form a new piece of pottery. This artful look translates to the covers of the notebook.
