A traditional Japanese tool used to ensure a square edge in bookbinding and box making. Used in the bindery for squaring box walls, book blocks or stacks of paper, and for rounding spines. A useful tool to have in any studio.

Handmade by our friends Mentsen. 

Mentsen is a London-based design practice established in 2011 and a partnership between two Japanese designers, Yasuyuki Sakurai and Risa Sano. The studio name, meaning ‘surfaces and lines’ in Japanese, references to working in different mediums and scales.
