Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a lacquer-coated disk and a seal book.

Background Art

[0002] At shrines and temples, a vermilion seal is impressed on worshippers as a mark of worship. Also, the name of the shrine or temple and the date of worship may be written together with the vermilion seal. A seal book is used as a method of collecting and storing these vermilion seals. Conventionally, seal books with improved design and convenience have been disclosed (for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

[0003] The seal book described in Patent Document 1 is formed by stabbing the front cover, a predetermined number of seal paper storage sheets, and the back cover together, and the seal paper storage sheet is made of a bag-shaped film with the left and right side edges and the bottom edge closed and only the upper edge open. The seal paper storage sheet is divided into a narrow reinforcing paper pocket on the stitched side by a vertical seal line and a wide storage pocket on the free end side. A strip-shaped reinforcing paper is inserted into the reinforcing paper pocket, and the storage pocket has a size capable of accommodating seal paper. Also, the seal book described in Patent Document 2 has a structure in which the front cover, a plurality of middle papers folded once in the longitudinal direction of the front cover, and a plurality of middle papers arranged in the same direction and pasted together at both ends are attached to the front cover. In a state where paper is inserted between the middle papers, the middle papers are opened and have a structure that opens and closes horizontally and widely by 180 degrees.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] In recent years, the widespread popularity of goshuincho (stamp books) has led to an increase in the number of people collecting stamps and other items, resulting in a rise in visitors to shrines and temples and a corresponding increase in the demand for goshuincho. Many people visit shrines and temples for sightseeing purposes, and those visiting shrines and temples far from urban areas often rely on transportation such as cars. Listening to music during the journey can enhance the enjoyment of visiting shrines and temples. Against this backdrop, there is a growing demand for items that enhance the enjoyment of sightseeing through sight and sound.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a lacquered disc and a stamp book using this lacquered disc. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The lacquered disc according to the present invention is characterized in that lacquer is applied to the front surface of the compact disc body or the digital multipurpose disc body, and a pattern is applied to the lacquered surface.

[0008] The lacquered disc according to the present invention is characterized by having a decorative coating on its coated surface.

[0009] The stamp book according to the present invention is characterized by having a disc storage section, in which the above-mentioned lacquered disc is stored. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] The lacquered disc according to the present invention has a glossy finish and high design appeal because the surface is coated with lacquer, and it also has a special quality because it is decorated with images (for example, various shrines and temples) on the coated surface. Furthermore, the surface of the lacquered disc can be decorated (for example, with maki-e) to give it a luxurious appearance.

[0011] Furthermore, the stamp book according to the present invention stores the lacquered discs mentioned above. Since the lacquered discs can be designed to match the specific shrine or temple, distributing these stamp books and lacquered discs can contribute to an increase in the number of visitors. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0012] [Figure 1] This figure shows a lacquer-coated disc according to an embodiment of the present invention, where (a) is a cross-sectional view of the lacquer-coated disc and (b) is a plan view of the lacquer-coated disc. [Figure 2] This figure illustrates the configuration of a stamp book according to an embodiment of the present invention, where (a) is a perspective view and (b) shows the stamp book in an open state. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0013] The lacquered disc and the stamp book using this lacquered disc according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2.

[0014] As shown in Figure 1, the lacquered disc 1 according to this embodiment consists of a CD (compact disc) body 2 and a coating layer 3 formed on the front surface 2A of the CD body 2. This coating layer 3 is formed by applying lacquer with a brush or the like. A printable printing layer is provided on the front surface 2A of the CD body 2, and a recording layer and a resin layer are provided on the back surface 2B of the CD body 2.

[0015] The lacquering is done using commonly practiced methods. The surface of coating layer 3 (the coated surface) is decorated with a pattern. This pattern is, for example, the design for the vermilion seals used at various shrines and temples. The coated surface can also be decorated; for example, maki-e (gold lacquer) can be used, where patterns and characters are drawn with lacquer, and before the lacquer dries, metal powder such as gold is sprinkled on the coated surface. Applying maki-e results in a luxurious finish. The thickness of coating layer 3 is approximately 0.01 mm to 0.03 mm.

[0016] The stamp book 10 according to this embodiment is used for purposes such as sightseeing. As shown in Figure 2, the stamp book 10 has a cover (outer fabric) 11 and a pouch (storage section) 12 bound to the cover 11, with at least one side being transparent. Multiple pouches 12 are provided. In the stamp book 10, the lacquered disc 1 is stored in the pouch 12 through the opening 12A. Note that a general CD case can also be used as the stamp book.

[0017] Next, the effects of the lacquer-coated disk 1 and the autograph book 10 according to this embodiment will be described.

[0018] Since the lacquer-coated disk 1 according to this embodiment has lacquer applied to the front surface 2A, a gloss is produced, and its design quality is higher compared to a normal CD. In addition, since the patterns of each shrine and temple are applied to the lacquer-coated surface, a specialness is created. Furthermore, on the front surface 2A of the lacquer-coated disk 1, decorations such as maki-e can be applied, and by applying maki-e, a luxurious appearance is achieved.

[0019] Since the lacquer-coated disk 1 according to this embodiment can play the music recorded on the CD body 2, music can be enjoyed when moving to a target shrine or temple by means of transportation such as a car.

[0020] Thus, the lacquer-coated disk 1 can be used as an item for enjoying sightseeing at shrines and temples through the eyes and ears. And this lacquer-coated disk 1 is something that new value utilizing the traditional beauty of Japan is imparted to the inorganic CD body 2.

[0021] The lacquer-coated disk 1 and the autograph book 10 according to this embodiment can be designed for each shrine and temple. Therefore, for example, at unpopular shrines and temples, by distributing these lacquer-coated disks 1 and autograph books 10, it can be used as a measure to increase the number of visitors to unpopular shrines and temples, and also contributes to the dispersion of visitors.

[0022] By popularizing such lacquer-coated disks 1 and autograph books 10, the culture of visiting shrines and temples can be further spread. Also, due to the above items, it leads to the lacquer coating, which is a traditional culture of Japan, being more widely known. [[ID=2)3]]

[0023] CD disks can utilize those to be discarded, and manufacturing and using the lacquer-coated disk 1 also has social significance from the perspective of recyclability. [[ID=2)8]]

[0024] Although this embodiment has been described above, it is possible to select or omit the configurations listed in the above embodiment, or to change them to other configurations as appropriate, as long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention.

[0025] In this embodiment, an example of using a lacquered disc in a stamp book has been described, but it is not limited to this use and can be used for other purposes. Although a CD disc was described as an example of a lacquered disc, a lacquered disc can also be made using a DVD (digital multipurpose) disc. Furthermore, the lacquered disc 1 may have areas for writing characters and for stamping red seals. The outer fabric 11 of the stamp book 10 can also be made of Nishijin-ori or similar material.
