JP2007326355A - Small picture book with stamp - Google Patents

Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems that a piece of stamp is hard to handle due to its excessive small size, when appreciating a stamp, and is vulnerable and easy to be lost and, and many stamps on each page are inevitably seen simultaneously, when appreciating a stamp on an album or a stock book, causing the stamps to interfere with each other, not allowing a single piece of stamp to be appreciated as a picture, and that the stamps need associated stories and explanation without losing a function as picture. <P>SOLUTION: A piece of stamp is made to be a page of a picture book, having its longitudinal and lateral sizes of not larger than 3 inches (76 mm). When the picture has an associated story or explanation, it is described on an adjacent spread page. Thereby, a small picture book with stamps are created. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a picture book. Specifically, it relates to a bean book that uses stamps as a picture book.

  Postage stamps, match labels (match labels), and forms (collection forms) can be said to be reduced paintings, and many of them are excellent in art.

However, when trying to appreciate such stamps, the single piece is too small and difficult to handle and is easily lost or scratched. In addition, in an album or a stock book, since a large number of sheets on each page are viewed at the same time, it interferes with each other and it is difficult to appreciate a single leaf as a single-width painting. In addition, it is necessary to add stories and explanations that are related to the painting without losing its function as a painting.
The present invention is a picture book made to eliminate the above drawbacks.

A picture book with a piece of stamp as a picture of one page, and the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the picture book are 3 inches or less (76 mm or less). If there is a story or explanation about the picture, write it on the adjacent page of the spread.
It is a bean book made into a picture book using the stamp which consists of the above composition.
Here, the size of the picture book is 3 inches or less. If it is larger than this, the area of the stamp on one page will be too small to be regarded as a picture book picture. This is because the defined dimension is 3 inches or less. (For this definition, see Non-Patent Document 1, for example.)

Since one piece of stamp is a single page that matches its size, you can concentrate and appreciate it as a reduced-width picture. You can also enjoy a picture book by adding a story about the picture to the adjacent pages of the spread.
Because of the picture book tailoring (bookbinding by folding the cardboard in half), there is no unevenness on the paper surface, and stamps are not damaged.
Because it is a Mamemoto specification, it is small and convenient to carry. In particular, bean picture books using postage stamps of art paintings such as Ukiyo-e are suitable for souvenirs and crafts that introduce Japanese culture for foreign countries because they are light and not bulky.
Picture books can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages, from infants to adults of Mamemoto collectors and stamp collectors.
