This Japanese binding looks incredible (Hemp leaf)

In this tutorial, I guide you through the hemp leaf Japanese bookbinding (asa-no-ha toji), one of the most intricate and advanced patterns in traditional Japanese stab binding (this is part 4/4 of my series on Japanese bookbinding patterns). You’ll learn the stitching sequence step by step and how to build this detailed geometric pattern on both sides of your book. This binding is ideal for those who have already practiced the 4-hole, noble, and tortoise shell bindings and want to take their bookbinding skills to the next level. If you’re new to this technique, I recommend starting with the simpler patterns on my channel before trying this advanced design.
