Synopsis

Surveys 136 Japanese patterns dating from the Heian period to the present day. Used in fine arts, textiles, printed paper, lacquerware, and countless common objects, these designs were originally inspired by nature, geometric shapes, and everyday life, and have become increasingly abstract through the centuries. The text gives the history and name of each pattern, its use today, and how it may be used by designers in different ways.
