1970s Handmade Japanese Calender Folio Case by Wazome Kogei
Uncirculated or vintage folios from this era remain highly collectible today.
Being Japanese, these were made to be used by opening right to left. We have photographed these with an emphasis on the western way of handling a folio or a book, right to left.
FOLIO CASES
The folio cases in this collection represent a beautiful intersection of traditional craft preservation and modern, mid-20th-century design, appealing to both Japanese folk art enthusiasts and Western markets interested in handmade techniques.
The fronts are covered with a decorative paper called Wazome or Katazome, the reverse with a coloured, crinkled momigami paper. Inside is an expandable pocket to secure the contents
This folio case is roughly 11×15½ inches (278 x 393 mm).
