  • Kimono Design: An Introduction to Textiles and Patterns uses hundreds of photographs and a wealth of information on colors, fabrics and embellishments to paint a portrait of Japanese culture, art and thought. Lavish classical patterns, sweeping scenes, and the many motifs that have been woven, dyed, painted or embroidered into these textiles reveal a reflectiveness, a sense of humor, and an appreciation of exquisite beauty that is uniquely Japanese. Organized according to motifs traditionally associated with each season of the year, Kimono Design interprets the kimono's special language as expressed in depictions of: Flowers and grasses Birds and other animals Symbols of power, luck and prestige Land-and-seascapes scenes from literature, history and daily life scenes of travel and the Japanese concept of other lands and many others…Extensive notes on all the motifs demonstrate how the kimono reflects changing times and a sense of the timeless. Information on jewelry, hairpins and other accessories is scattered throughout to give a fuller sense of the Japanese art of dress. This is a volume that Japanophiles, historians, artists and designers will all cherish.『着物の文様とその見方』(誠文堂新光社刊)英訳版大正・昭和期につくられた、200種類以上の着物と帯の文様を紹介するガイドブック。着物と帯の文様に使われている草花、動物などのデザインの意味や格付け、時代背景、由来などを詳しく解説します。また、季節による絵柄の使い分けなど実用的な情報も収録しています。

“Very happy with the light. I wanted something a little different for a bedside lamp and find this is great. Easy to operate with a single button to turn it off and on and control the brightness and colour temperature. The item was sent quickly and a hassle free purchase.”
