Two books in the Japanese style

Both Books:
5.5 X 8.5 X .5”
Paper, waxed linen, acrylic, collage,

Both of these books were experiments in Japanese style book binding.

I enjoyed the simplicity of the binding and the Japanese influence led to a very simple composition for each cover. They are essentially a single patch of color on a monochromatic ground. There’s always more detail to be seen but that simplicity is the foundation of the design.

Book 1

Book 2
