Traditional Kimono Silks by Anita Yasuda, softback published by Schiffer in the USA. Available in the UK and EU, price 27.50 GBP from www.bushwoodbooks.co.uk
A sumptuous look at the timeless design of traditional kimono silks from the 1920’s onwards. The designs have been categorized into themes in this pictorial guide representing over 400 designs. The floral and wave sections appealed to me most of all. The book also includes an all too brief introduction to Kimono history and styles. Superb for textile designers and students of Japanese or Asian design.
