Treasures Underfoot is the second of two very unique books featuring designs taken from manhole covers found in cities and towns throughout Japan. Intended for quilters, the book includes two versions of each design: a full-color stylized rendition, and a black and white silhouette to aid in pattern design. Also included are beautiful full-color photos of quilts based on the designs, hand-crafted by quilt artists from England, Japan, New Zealand, Korea and the United States.
A variety of historical and cultural information is presented on cities and towns whose designs are featured in the book.
