Dover Japanese Emblems and Designs
Renowned for its superb invention, ingenuity and sense of pattern, Japanese design has long been admired in the West. One specific kind of ornamentation, known as mon, is especially recognized for its unusually rhythmic and engrossing patterns. Originally designed to serve as family emblems or crests, mon have also been used in Japan as trademarks and for decorating such objects as kimonos and lacquered furniture. This volume presents almost 800 of the attractive copyright-free designs, ready for use or adaptation by today's commercial artists, craftspeople and designers. A special feature of this book is the inclusion of a number of designs by the great artist Hokusai, selected from an extremely rare edition originally published in 1824.
