A coloring book by Maria Kawahara that draws traditional Japanese patterns with a modern touch.
The pictures include portraits of women in kimono with seasonal patterns, designs that recall Kyo-yuzen kimono, scenes from old tales such as The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter and The Crane's Return of a Favor, and playful modern Japanese designs. The book is in a modified A4 size with 72 pages, and the contents page lists 32 titles.
Notes explain the names and meanings of the patterns used in the pictures. The back of the book has cut-out extras, and buyers can download poster and postcard data.
