Infinity Journal

Why do I have more than one? Because I liked the original ordinary journals too much to stop using such beautiful books for my memories and notes on multiple subjects. Though, for someone my age, I have surprisingly few of them. My father, Nobu, on the other hand...

History and Magical Properties

Yokai (with their lifespans spanning a millennium or more) can have troubles keeping all the events in their long lives straight. If they are literate, they often keep journals to avoid the muddling all the memories together.
Those born before the Edo Era (1603-1868) remember paper being a treasure. A book was only owned by the highest in society. In 1604, Nakamura Nobu created a magical means to increase the number of pages and protect his precious journals from wear and tear. He saw the benefit to yokai-kind and taught any who would learn.
Then in the mid 1650s, Date Hongyou, after becoming frustrated with searching through many decades of notes, created a spell to help the author find the page they are seeking. In the spell is a ward to confuse any reader but the author.
