Collection: Japanese Washi Guest Book (Homeiroku)

Traditional Guestbooks for Ceremonies and Events

A “Homeiroku” is a traditional Japanese guestbook used to record the names of attendees at weddings, funerals, memorial services, exhibitions, and other formal gatherings.
The term “homei” is a respectful expression meaning “name,” reflecting the courtesy shown to each guest.

Depending on the occasion, guests may write only their name or include both their name and address by hand.
By recording attendees’ names, organizers can manage attendance and later send thank-you notes or notifications as needed.
Most guestbooks feature vertically lined frames that make it easy for each person to write neatly, while unlined styles allow for more自由な書き添えやメッセージも可能です。

Japanese-Bound Guestbooks Made with Washi

Our guestbooks are primarily Japanese-bound books made with washi paper, offering a soft texture and a calm, dignified atmosphere.
When writing on washi, choosing the right writing instrument enhances both legibility and appearance.
In addition to traditional brush and ink, brush pens and fountain pens are also well suited.
Since guestbooks are typically written vertically, names should be written clearly within a single vertical line.
