Archive of 45 designs adapted from kimonos, Noh costumes and screens: stripes, allover patterns, nature scenes, sprays of flowers and branches, much more, convey subtle elegance. This practical archive contains 45 royalty-free floral designs based on Japanese art and costume for use in many different arts and crafts projects. Included are a wide variety of patterns and motifs: allover patterns, individual nature scenes, grand floral sprays or tree branches, and more - some featuring birds and butterflies, some delicate and full of fine detail, others bolder in concept. Madeleine Orban-Szontagh has adapted these designs from watercolors, screens, lacquer boxes, wall hangings, the fabulous costumes of the Noh drama, and many examples of kimonos - all dating from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. Artists and crafters searching for clearly detailed patterns and motifs suggesting the subtle elegance of Japanese design will find this collection indispensable.
