This swatch book is an inspiring visual tour of elegant fabric
design using beautiful historic kimono remnants from Japan's Showa
Period (1926-1989). More than 400 photographs and detailed captions
provide information on motif identification, Japanese history and
cultural traditions. The book is organized around favorite Japanese
motifs, including cherry blossoms, peonies, maple leaves, bamboo
shoots, waves, and clouds. It will be a source of ideas and
inspiration for collectors, designers, quilters, and historians. A
glossary of related terms, antique fabric resources, and a
substantial bibliography point the way to further reading and
study.
