This book introduces ten Japanese fabric designers and their works. The textiles and fabrics are handmade, designed by traditional methods such as woodblock printing, clay dying, hand stitching and so on although the styles and techniques of each designer vary greatly, their works are alike in that each is fundamentally representational of Japanese culture.

Design Ideas for Handmade Textile & Fabric not only showcases the designers works, it also features an in-depth look at their techniques and personal insights into the art of textile and fabric making. It is a must-have reference book for textile and/or fabric designers or designers-to-be and is an ideal book for beginners who love handmade works.

Categorical titles and techniques available in English as well as Japanese. Original designs and patterns are included in the last pages of this book.
