An exquisite, custom handmade Japanese postcard and photo album designed to beautifully store and display your travel keepsakes, vintage postcards, or art prints.
Handcrafted in Australia with your choice of traditional paper cover. A little home for the postcards, tickets, and paper ephemera worth keeping.
Each cover is hand-cut and assembled from authentic Japanese Katazome paper. Stencil-dyed by hand, it carries the soft irregularities and texture that only come from a traditional artisan process, not a printer. Choose from many Katazome designs at checkout.
Inside, you will find 40 pockets sized to hold standard postcards front and back. Slide a card in and both sides stay visible, ensuring the message on the back does not get lost the way it does in a shoebox.

A NOTE ON THE PAPER
Because katazome paper is dyed by hand in small batches, no two sheets are perfectly identical. You may notice a slight variation in colour depth or motif placement from the sample photos. This organic variation is part of the unique charm of traditional Japanese printmaking.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Keep out of direct sunlight to preserve the paper's natural, rich colours. Store flat or upright on a library shelf.
GIFTING & COLLECTING
This album makes a lovely, thoughtful gift for a traveller, a dedicated Postcrossing collector, or anyone who still believes a handwritten postcard is better than a text message. Comes carefully wrapped and gift-ready.
