Dictionary, Doctored.
Fascinated by the work of Tokyo craftsman Nobuo Okano, who manages to restore a worn, 1000-page dictionary to its previous glory in the span of an afternoon.

Wow! Somehow this is fascinating. Special gift to daughter once father used in his school days. I love this. Thank you for finding this.
ReplyDeleteThis warms my heart. I can only hope that if I ever pass down an old book to any future children, that this art won't be obsolete. Thank you so much for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteI loved when the YN got removed "Sayonara" could definitely understand that bit :) I really love that instead of throwing it out, he decided to seek out someone to restore it and the fact that there exists someone to restore it - makes my heart melt :) I think I may of going a little crazy if I had to fold over 1000 corners though - much respect to Nobuo!
