A third-generation traditional bookbinder gives easy-to-follow
instructions for making all the major, historically important
styles of Japanese bindings as well as traditional book cases--the
custom-made folding boxes that afford handsome protection for
Japan's exquisite books.
The authoritative text, written by one of Japan's leading
professional bookbinders, has been fully adapted for Western
readers. Both American and Japanese suppliers of traditional tools
and materials are provided and substitutes are recommended for
items not readily available.
For centuries the West has admired Japanese books, but only now
can we make them ourselves and take full advantage of their
creative possibilities. Stunning and practical, these bindings are
ideal for preserving calligraphy, letters, artwork, and poems, for
adding a distinctive touch to limited-edition books, and for use as
diaries or gifts.
