Sarasa woodblock patterns / Yoshioka, Sachio (ed.) 2007  Book
Yoshioka, Sachio (ed.) Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication California, Stone Bridge Press, 2007.
Description 120pBlue Spine
Summary/Abstract Sarasa is decorated cotton cloth, also known as "chintz," either printed or hand-painted. Developed in India over 2,000 years ago, sarasa was exported throughout the world and had an enormous influence on art and culture. This book introduces woodblocks such as those used principally by craftsmen in India, but also in Persia and elsewhere, where patterns were engraved in hard, durable teak. The textiles displaying the designs in this book are considered precious examples of the art. They were typically used as meibutsugire (highly valued, exquisite cloths for wrapping the finest tea-ceremony utensils) and as fabrics for kimono obi (sashes).
