A Wraparound Case (Japanese)

The above is the inside of a wraparound case for one of the latest Japanese books. Note the bone fasteners at the lefthand end. I was sent the two tiger prints along with the text blocks and thought it a pity not to use them, so used them as linings. The paper they are printed on is like tissue paper and the coverboards show through. The central section has a lining of chiyogami paper which is the same as the cover of the book itself.

This is a photo of the case closed with the book inside. Note the bone fasteners which are in place, securely closing the case. The book cloth is printed cotton which was already backed with paper. I will try to get the wraparound case for the other book done tomorrow.
