Superb treasury; meticulously reproduced from a rare portfolio; depicts a host of authentic Japanese designs; including images of florals; animal life; and geometrics. These intricate; subtly shaded motifs; portrayed in the manner of stylized Japanese art; still retain their enormous appeal almost a century after they were first printed. 108 full-color designs.

0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. First Impressions?By A. GroopI purchased this book as a gift for my father of who is a carpenter with Finish ancestry. Upon receipt I was concern that it was just another old book off of a dusty old library shelf. The book is in black and white and therefore does not do itself justice when it comes to architecture. My father says that he is enjoying the book but I cannot say that I had a chance to personally read it and speak about its relevance or insight into Finlands Architectural History. I wish that I could say more but my first impression was a let down. However; we cannot judge the book by its cover or just a quick flip through its pages.
