Japanese Craftsman Restores Old Books
Nobuo Okano has been restoring books for 30 years.A guy brought in an old, 1,000-page English-Japanese dictionary.He used it in his youth and now wants to restore it and give it to his daughter.Nobuo begins by shaving the old glue from the spine.The book had some maps of English-speaking countries. They suffered greatly, so Nobuo glued them to new sheets of paper.The color doesn’t match perfectly, but he can prevent them from degrading further.The most monotonous part is straightening out every page corner with tweezers……and then wetting and ironing the corners straight.He even has a special tiny iron for the job.The owner wrote his high school sweetheart’s initials on the book in ink.Using a heavy-duty paper cutter, Okano removes the color from the edges.New, minty-fresh pages!Last but not least, the cover, with the original title on a brand-new background.Comparison
