Bookbinding

First, you need to know what Rhino is in Japanese. It’s Sai with the kanji being 犀. River in Japanese is kawa with the corresponding kanji being three vertical lines: 川. Together Sai and Kawa is pronounced Saigawa. The Saigawa is one of the two major rivers running through Kanazawa (the other being the Asanogawa which means Shallow River, and it is.)

That means the Saigawa can be translated as Rhino River. The Rhino River I made is an A6-size, 120-page, link stitch-bound blank notebook. In order to push my personal envelope in the bookbinding trade, I made a collage of people, drew a rhinoceros, and cut out photos of various other activities: books, museums, a cow, and a painting of a group of women harvesting what appears to be wheat.
