Description
A comprehensive collection of traditional Japanese designs and motifs is presented in this treasury, featuring 360 rights-free designs. These have been specially adapted by artist Carol Belanger Grafton for use by illustrators, designers, and craftspeople.
The designs are drawn from various sources, including woodblock prints, which were a popular medium in Japan before the 17th century. The collection includes a range of motifs, such as ceramic and textile patterns, family crests, geometric designs, and depictions of nature's bounty, including animals and plants.
These designs have been carefully selected to preserve their original spirit and subtlety while also enhancing their reproducibility. With this treasury, artists and craftspeople can access a wealth of traditional Japanese design inspiration for their work.
