Detailed Solution

The traditional Chinese ‘accordion boks’ were very fragile because the sheets used were thin. As the sides of the book were thin and the porous sheets could not be printed, the Chinese artisans used a new technique to prepare the accordion books. The traditional accordion book was folded and stitched at the side.

The accordion books were handled very carefully, and the printing work on these traditional books was of utmost precision.
