Marbled Pocket size "Bunkobon" book cover - marbled paper, Hand made book cover, gift for her, gift for bookworm, pocket size book cover

This beautiful handmade Book cover is made by hand with hand marbled paper on the cover and canvas on the inside which you will use as a bookmark thanks to its flexibility, finished with a genuine leather coordinated strip. Made to fit a classic Japanese Bunkobon "文庫本" size or any book of the same size

The technique used to create the marbling requires great skill and precision, and has been used in Italy since the 17th century. A basin is filled with a thick, vegetable-based liquid, and its surface is sprinkled with different colours. The craftsman creates patterns in these colours using combs, and then gently places the paper on the surface of the liquid without moving the design. It only takes a few seconds for the paper to absorb the colours, then the decoration is complete and the colours are immediately dry

It is a unique gift for yourself or your loved ones, a perfect fit for men, women, students, and teachers.

Book size: 15.5 x 11 cm

Made in Florence Italy
