**************************************************************

"It seemed to me that Japanese bookbinding had a lot in common with cardboard. That was all I needed to want to discover the history of this traditional technique and adapt it, always in my own way, to fancy notebooks.

Then a whole new field of creation opened up: Colors, formats, materials, qualities of paper, inside, on the cover, ribbons, strings, and threads, decorations, staging, binding designs... everything is possible.

This is fantastic!

I hope you have as much fun as I did!
