Orihon is a type of traditional Japanese book that is folded in a continuous, expandable manner like an accordion. It consists of a long, single sheet of paper or silk that is folded into a series of panels in a zigzag pattern. This design allows the book to be spread out and read in a linear sequence, making it easy to read the text or view the illustrations continuously. Orihon books were commonly used for classical literature, historical documents, artistic works, and maps, often featuring elaborate illustrations and decorative elements. The folding format makes the orihon both practical and visually appealing.
