I managed to complete the final two sample books in Japanese style and the wrap around case, the Maru Chitsu. The sample books are sewn in four different patterns. From left to right, Four-hole, Kang-xi, Hemp-leaf, Tortoise-shell. The Maru Chitsu is covered in cloth which has been pasted onto bank paper.
This is the inside of the case when opened out. The lining paper is mulberry paper dyed blue and it is quite variegated. You can see the bone clasps at the left hand end. One of them is just visible on the right of the case in the top photograph.
So what shall I do tomorrow? Madi is coming over to help me clear up the cellar and I doubt if any project will be completed but I might have a review of where I have got to in binding Pinocchio. I found the end papers for it this morning. They were very badly done so I will have to find a replacement.
