Also jousoubon ’Ÿ‘•–{ and orijou ά’Ÿ or jou ’Ÿ. Ch: zheben  –{ (Jp: shouhon). An accordion book, typically made from sheets of paper which are pasted together in a long strip and then folded accordion fashion into the desired size. Usually the length is longer than the width. The paper used for the text is often *torinokogami ’Ή‚ΜŽqŽ† or *hanshi ”ΌŽ†. The cover is made of binder's board or thick paper and is attached to the front and back sheets of the text. Easier to use than the *kansubon ŠͺŽq–{ (handscroll), the orihon was employed for Buddhist scriptures as well as albums of collected calligraphy and painting. Orihon is thought to have originated sometime in the Heian period, developing alongside a number of other book forms that were based on Chinese models. Variations of orihon include the album (*gajou ‰ζ’Ÿ) and the flutter book (*senpuuyou ω•——t).
