Japanese Floral Stencil Designs (Dover Pictorial Archives) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The exquisite floral motifs in this outstanding collection, selected from authentic Japanese sources, evolved through a centuries-old decorative-arts tradition. There are 135 designs, each reflecting the subtle mastery with which Japanese artists captured the freshness and delicacy of flowers, leaves and vines and composed them in a dense, masterfully balanced pattern. The flowers and leafy branches featured in the designs include those traditionally associated with Japanese art-the chrysanthemum, the peony, cherry and plum blossoms, bamboo, wisteria and maple leaves among them. Clearly printed in black and white, these beautiful copyright-free illustrations are ready to use as the basis for designs for wallpaper and textiles, batiks and woodblock prints, graphics, needlework and many other arts and crafts.
