‖ orihon|ˈɒrɪhɒn| [Jap., f. ori fold + hon book.] A book formed by folding a printed roll alternately backwards and forwards between the columns, and usu. fastening it with cord down one side.
1907C. Davenport Book ii. 28 The Chinese and Japanese..by help of the ancient device of ‘stabbing’ the flattened roll along one of its sides,..produce a form called an ‘Orihon’, easy to consult, strong. 1910Encycl. Brit. IV. 216/2 A roll [of vellum, paper, etc.] of this kind can be folded up, backwards and forwards, the bend coming in the vacant spaces between the columns of writing. When this is done it..becomes a book, and takes the Chinese and Japanese form known as orihon—all the writing on one side of the roll or strip of paper and all the other side blank... The earliest fastening of such books consists of a lacing with some cord or fibre run through holes stabbed right through the substance of the roll, near the edge. Now the orihon is complete, and it is the link between the roll and the book. 1951S. Jennett Making of Bks. xi. 155 This form of book was much used throughout the East, and was known as an orihon. 1960G. A. Glaister Gloss. Bk. 287 Orihon, a manuscript roll on which the writing was done in columns running the short way of the paper with margins between each. The roll was then folded, the margins having the effect of a closed fan. 1968E. G. Turner Greek Papyri 173 It has been suggested that the codex evolved out of an intermediate form of leather or skin roll in which stitches were inserted in the spaces between every second column, the skin being folded on itself at the intervening column, so that the whole roll was folded concertina-fashion. Books of this kind (termed orihon) are still in everyday use in China and Japan. |
