Chinese Thread Book

Zhen Xian Bao. Translated as Needle Thread Pocket, the Zhen Xian Bao was created as filing system by women in China, to store and organize embroidery supplies, stencils, and memorabilia. Though the closed structure is book-like, instead of pages, the inside of the Zhen Xian Bao is characterized by expandable paper boxes which hide progressively sized layers of square and rectangular containers.
