Handmade Books

A beautiful, interesting and unique book doesn't just happen.  It requires the skill and know-how of the bookmaker and the quality of the bookmaker's supplies.

Washi Accents sees Japanese paper as a dream choice for bookmakers.  It has versatility, beauty, strength and endless variety not found in other papers.  It is paper at its very best!

Some especially distinctive choices include:  Yuzen, well known for rich colors, and silkscreened patterns; Unryu, known for its embedded fibers; Kozo ("mulberry"), for the way it takes ink; Momi, regarded for its texture and its variety of decorative colors and weights.

Another paper often used for book conservation is Tengucho, a very thin, but remarkably strong paper which virtually disappears when applied to a surface.

All these papers can be seen in our online store, along with luxurious Japanese bookcloth, and all the tools, adhesives, trim and supplies required for superior quality bookmaking projects.
