A tracing book made for glass pens, which are dipped in ink to write and draw. The pages use seven kinds of paper, sorted by theme, including literature, classics, illustration and lettering.
There are five chapters. The literature chapter has poems and short pieces to trace. The art chapter has drawings such as hydrangeas, a mandala, a capybara, sweets, stationery, and maps of Kyoto and Paris. The classics chapter draws on The Tale of Genji, The Pillow Book, The Tale of the Heike, Hyakunin Isshu and other works.
The last two chapters cover flower names and sayings about flowers, and words from around the world, with text in English, Korean, French and Thai, including Hansel and Gretel and Alice in Wonderland.
