Designed by Joséphine Grenier, a French graphic designer and illustrator based in Japan. When designing this gift, she explains, “I drew inspiration from the Japanese culture of celebrating the seasons, and the deep emotional connection people nurture with natural cycles, especially the blooming of sakura. There is a quiet poetry in the way each moment is cherished, however fleeting. I wanted the illustration to carry that same sense of gentle impermanence and joyful attention to detail."

Leaving the world Lusher than we found it
Nepalese handmade paper is made from the fibrous inner bark of the evergreen shrub, Daphne Bhopal, also known as Lokta bushes. They are cut a few cm from ground level, allowing the plant to regrow from the radial root. The plants regenerate and can then be re-harvested after 3-7 years depending on altitude and growing conditions. Bastipur, close to the Indian border, has the perfect dry conditions required for the papermaking process and the unit there was set up to create employment and support empowerment of women in the area. Pass forward, reuse or recycle for a lush environment.
