Various types of slipcases called “Hako” have traditionally been used by Japanese book publishers for many years. Many of them are made of good quality paper and are fitted to the volume in a classic manner. One purpose of their use is to guard against damage to a book prior to its being sold; another is to give the book a refined appearance. Many slipcase artists worked in the Tokyo area from the end of the Meiji era in 1910, and most of them were from Toyama Prefecture. The slipcases of literary books were often designed by a famous artist or painter, and dictionaries often bore a beautifully hand-lettered title.Regrettably, this practice of handsome slipcases has grown less common recently, because publishers no longer want to invest in the extra cost involved and readers want books at the cheapest price possible.
