Shiawase o Yobu Utsukushii Wagashi no Nurie(Japanese)

A coloring book of about 300 wagashi, traditional Japanese sweets. As you color their shapes, you can learn about the seasonal customs of Japan and the stories behind the designs. The book grew out of the illustrated guide Utsukushii Wagashi no Zukan. Many of the sweets belong to seasonal events such as New Year, the Doll Festival, cherry blossom viewing, Tanabata, chrysanthemum viewing, autumn leaf viewing and snow viewing. Others show animals, vegetables, shells and goldfish, and one spread is a board game based on chapters of The Tale of Genji. There are also celebration sweets and many kinds of aruheito candy. Each motif has its own meaning, and all of them are lucky designs. The color samples were made with colored pencils, but you can use any materials you like.

Translated from the Japanese original.
