Japan is known for its exquisite craftsmanship, and this is also evident in the field of bookbinding. In her new book, Petra Paffenholz conveys a lot of interesting facts about Japanese book culture, paper science and basic bookbinding techniques. With the help of numerous instructions, other bindings such as the turtle shell binding, the hemp leaf binding or the fantasy bindings developed by the author are presented in addition to the classic Japanese rod binding. The covers are also made using Japanese techniques: they are marbled (suminagashi), embroidered (sashiko), colored (shibori) or sewn as a collage (boro). This is how uniquely designed books and notebooks are created - in the Japanese style!
