To facilitate permeation of water when water is applied to the crimping range of a sheet made of a water-permeable paper material. A binding unit applies water to placed sheets and then crimp-binds the sheets. The binding unit includes a pair of pressure teeth (pressure teeth and receiving teeth part) provided on both the front and back sides of the sheets and configured to crimp-binding the sheets, a water reservoir provided on the back surface side of any one of the pressure teeth and configured to store water to be applied to the sheet, and a pressurizing member (piston) that pressurizes the water in the water reservoir to apply water to the sheet crimping range.

Claim (Index 8):
The binding unit according to  claim 7 , wherein\n the first pressure teeth have, on the same side thereof, the elastic body that surrounds the first pressure teeth and are brought into pressure contact with the sheets by an elastic spring provided at the side of the cylinder on the first pressure teeth front side so as to press the elastic body to the sheets and then applies water in the water reservoir to the sheets.
