'Living Human Treasures’: master of bookbinding
"For nearly 60 years, Mehmet Karsli has devoted his life to the art of bookbinding. From learning about the craft through a childhood apprenticeship to becoming a master bookbinder, he has kept a centuries-old tradition alive through his hands.
Recognised as a ‘Living Human Treasure’ by Türkiye’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Karsli received the award from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Today, he continues to pass this heritage on to future generations." from the video introduction
