(★)(A new approach to the principles of Japanese design as found in the strikingly handsome stencils used in dyeing Japanese kimonos ; a revealing study of an often overlooked facet of Japanese design genius and artistic dexterity --the ´katagami´or handmade textile stencil. Over 250 pages of sheer graphic delight, with reproductions of 198 outstanding stencil patterns, 50 photos of traditional woodblock prints showing the patterns in use, notes interpreting and commenting on each pattern, and an informative introduction. By a long-time American resident of Japan who is herself a professional artist, designer, gallery owner, and author of the highly regarded book ´Who´s Who in Modern Japanese Prints [Weatherhill, 1975].´) |
