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.

  • Very useful and inspiring book

    I love this book. I first saw it in the 1990s when doing my Paper Conservation training and made some Japanese style bindings and boxes. I have now got the opportunity to teach and this book is so clear and informative. It is full of step by step pictures describing the 'how to' and the styles can be adapted to your needs.
