Tools

We are pleased to offer this selection of Japanese tools for bookbinders, conservators and artists.

Paste Strainer

Paste Filter ("Nori Koshi")

7.25" diameter

The woven horsehair mesh on this exquisite handmade product makes an excellent and durable filter for producing your own paste. Bring beauty to an otherwise tedious task.

$225.00 CDN

   
Iron Awl

Iron Awl

This sturdy awl has been designed specifically for stab-sewn bindings: the solid metal construction stands up well to hammering with a mallet, and the shaft is of a uniform thickness to keep the hole sizes the same through a stack of paper.

$14.95 CDN

   

Paper Lifter

Actually made in China, this slim and flexible bamboo tool is also used traditionally in Japan to lift papers off a drying board. Perfect for wetmounting.

$18.95 CDN
   
Hake (Stencil Brushes)

Handmade deer hair stencil brushes with no metal at all. Best for use with water-soluble pigments such as watercolour, gouache. Unsuitable for use with acrylics, as they can clog the fine hairs.
