WORKSHOP 2: Fukuro toji - Japanese Bookbinding Japanses book binding was different to what I have done before becasue you were creating a professional looking book that was of the stardard that you could buy. This felt good as I have never produced something that felt ‘real’ before, and for something that was surprising easy to make. The process we went through was to take a stack of paper all cut to the same size, then taking two pieces of card to use as the front and back cover. Using bulldog clips we held the pages together and used a template and a drill to drill 5 holes along one edge. After this it was a simple matter of using a needle and thread to sew the book together. I really enjoyed this workshop and hope to be able to bind more books in the future and learn other methods of binding
