Kuretake Orinote Japanese Accordion Watercolour Paper Book – Brown

Experience the beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with the Kuretake Orinote Watercolour Paper Book. Inspired by the classic Goshuincho accordion bound design, Orinote allows your artwork to flow continuously across an extended page, opening up new possibilities for panoramic compositions, visual storytelling, and creative expression.

The cover is crafted from hand printed washi paper using the traditional kataezome method, showcasing the fine techniques and meticulous craftsmanship for which Japan is renowned. Inside, the beautiful quality 242gsm cold press watercolour paper provides an ideal surface for watercolour, ink, and mixed-media artwork.

Each book contains two sheets of acid-free paper, creating 32 pages in a compact 121 × 182mm format. The accordion structure offers a unique painting experience, allowing individual scenes to connect naturally across the folds while still working beautifully as separate pages.

A beautifully made artist’s book from the highly respected Kuretake company, the Orinote combines traditional Japanese aesthetics with practical functionality for artists, illustrators, and creatives.
