Japanese Bookbinding is a book written by the authority in this field, Kōjirō Ikegami, whose family has been creating hand-sewn books for three generations.
Starting from basic four-stitch sewing, 18 different detailed methods are featured here. You will learn how to make accordion books, butterfly books, and even traditional scrolls. The projects are illustrated with dozens of photos and drawings; each has a table of materials and a comprehensive description; step-by-step instructions are detailed and clear… We are tempted to draw inspiration from them when creating another Tajfuny series!
Introduction talks about the techniques, materials and tools needed to make books. You’ll also find a section on repairing books if needed; several patterns for decorative boxes for storing books; and an extensive bibliography.
