THE OLD SCHOOL PRESS

The box that contains the loose-leaf book tokonoma.

The box opens out to allow one of the leaves to be displayed at a time, much like a photograph frame. Currently showing in the box is one of Naoko Matsubara's wood-cuts accompanying a haiku by James Kirkup. If necessary the box can be folded up and stored in its slipcase on the book shelf like an ordinary book.
