The Course
On this course you will learn how to make four traditional Japanese-style books, each with their own stitch pattern: four-hole, kang-xi, tortoiseshell and hemp leaf. The completed books will be housed in a bespoke-made wraparound case – 'maru-chitsu', which will be fastened with Japanese bone clasps. All materials will be supplied
