Karakuri Byobu ('Trick' book)

Based on the traditional folded paper screen found in Japanese homes, the karakuri byobu is a mini version 'trick' book using the same paper hinge principles. At first glance these books seem to have only 2 pages, yet they actually house four separate double page spreads, exposed only when handled. This is a wonderfully playful structure full of potential for contemporary book arts projects. We will make a series of 'trick' books over the two days, including a book that demonstrates both a landscape and a portrait format within one double page structure.
