Description

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.
