The Tetsuyoso is unique amongst the Japanese bindings. The book is constructed by sewing sections at the folded edge, much as a Western-style binding, but with a far different thread path.

This style has been historically used for both accounting and narrative books. The cover construction will feel familiar as it shares many aspects of other Japanese bindings.

To protect your book or collection of books, we will build the Chitsu wrap-around cover.
