I love Japanese patterns. How can anyone resist a cover like that? Of course I had to buy it.
It's too bad I can't read Japanese, but I've been flipping through this book quite a bit, trying to figure out what makes these patterns so appealing. I love how they're so simple, often just one or two repeating elements and colors. It's been good inspiration for me while working on my craft faire goods.
Something else I picked up at Kinokuniya -- I'm thinking maybe they would look cute if they were framed in 3 small, square, dark wood frames...
omg. so cute! so, what's the book actually about? haha. :) I'm going to see you at your craft faire soon! whee!
ReplyDeleteOh my god, there's a Kinokuniya book store near you? I remember seeing them in Japan and was blown away. Are they packed full of Japanese goodness?
ReplyDeleteI just realised that you live in Santa Clara - that's where my brother lives :) A gazillion miles away from me!
