| Notes: | Book of Tibetan paper. A new experience in writing from the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal. Paper that is hand made, according to an ancient process, from the bark of the Daphne bush, or the Paper tree as the Nepalese call it. This paper comes from the high H, imalayan region of Nepal; land of the Sherpas, Lamas; fluttering prayer flags and Mount Everest. It is printed with exotic wooden blocks, hand carved in our workshop. The block prints depict the mythical beasts of the great Himalayan ranges. | ||||
