Selecting fine materials is the most important aspect to make fine bindings. The Japanese binding structure is much simpler than a
western one. Japanese paper is produced by hand and lasts for a long time; it is thus often used for conservation work in the west.
You can hopefully feel the warmth of hand-made paper and enjoy making calligraphy and drawings with it.
