Encadernação japonesa: os quatro furos / Japanese bookbinding: the four holes and its variations

Costura folha de cânhamo
Hemp leaf Binding stitch

Olá, queridos leitores!

Aproveitando o Dia dos Funcionários Públicos, resolvi conhecer melhor a encadernação japonesa de quatro furos, treinando as três variações: Kang xi, folha de cânhamo e casco de tartaruga, pois a básica, eu já conhecia.

Hello dear readers!

Today, October 28th is Public Servant Day! As a librarian who works in a public system of libraries, I had a day off. I made very good use of it making some new little booklets and learning the variations of the basic four holes japanese bookbinding: kang-xi, hemp leaf and turtoise shell. The basic four holes is already a friend of mine.
