About me

Master bookbinder and artisan
Hand-made bookbinding using traditional silk kimono fabric is a coveted craft. Every step of the process has meaning, making it an artistic and meditational experience. I have run my authentic studio for over 55 years. I give lectures on traditional bookmaking at universities of art & product design, and was part of the embossing workshop in Kyoto in 2017.
