Cranes
This archival, hand-sewn journal is made from 80 gsm Mohawk Superfine archival paper stitched with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that dates back to the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.
This book’s endbands are black and white cotton, and its bookmark is goatskin. Its spine is covered in champagne French goatskin from Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Utah, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand silk-screened in Japan in a factory where kimonos are printed.
Treasure binding began with monks in the 6th Century who would encrust volumes with jewels. During the Renaissance, there was a resurgence in treasure binding. This is a contemporary revival of the treasure binding in which a lucky charm has been embedded in the cover of this book.
The talisman in this journal is 1995, 500 yen coin featuring a crane. A whooping crane can stand five feet tall with a seven foot wingspan and yet fly gracefully. Pull yourself up, spread your arms, and do the seemingly impossible.
This book is roughly 6 x 9” with more than 150 blank pages.
