Country Textiles of Japan: The Art of Tsutsugaki

Rating:
Summary: Authoritative and accurate source book
Review: This is a wonderful reference for Japanese country textiles detailing the TSUTSUGAKI method, design motifs, indigo and cotton in historic country Japan. There are numerous pictures of this textile art detailing their age, origin, contruction, and design. You can see beautiful pictures of authentic pieces, mostly in black and white, but there are 8 full page photos, of futonji, yogi, banners, noren, and furoshiki. This is a "must have" for the collector or person interested in indigo cotton Japanese textiles for the working class person in country Japan. If this book was all in color, it would be an easy 5 stars.
