Japanese Stab Books


I also learned how to create a book bound with the Japanese stab method.

The red book is made from leftover scraps printmaking paper. It has cream pages, red covers and is bound with brown thread. It measures 6 1/4" by 4 1/4" and is for sale in my Etsy shop!

The green book is also filled with printmaking paper, but the pages have been embossed with copper plates I created and each page has a small embossment in 2 of its corners of cells in the process of dividing. The pages are grey Magnani Pescia paper and the cover is forest green, bound with white thread. The inside liner paper for the covers is made from an old black and silver woodcut. It measures 7"x 4 1/4'.
