Traditional Japanese Patterns and Motifs

Many motifs in use today’s Japan origi-nated in China, India and other Asian countries, however, they were adapted to Japanese tastes in the ninth century. The Japanese aesthetic sensibilities continued to develop through Momoyama and Edo periods (1568-1868) owing to both Japan’s rich natural environment with delightful seasonal changes and the Buddhist awareness of the evanescence of human life. The traditional motifs presented in this book are organized in terms of designs derived from natural forms (plants, ani-mals natural phenomena, man-made objects) and more abstract, symbolic designs (geometric, stylized and auspi-cious motifs) with many visual examples such as kimonos, ukio-e (woodblock prints) and table wares. Whether realis-tic or abstract, they offer a host of inspir-ing designs and an insight into a long-sustained, living tradition at the core of Japanese culture.
