An intricate tracing book, source book and colouring book to help you create a wide range of Islamic patterns

The exquisite geometric patterns that adorn buildings inside and out across the Islamic world all have an underlying geometry, ranging from the serenely simple to the extraordinarily complex. Presented here are 48 Islamic patterns, from locations such as Samarkand, Delhi, Fez, Isfahan and Cairo, and 48 loose-leaf sheets, each lightly printed with the geometry of the corresponding featured design.

Creative, inventive and fun, this book will give you the skills needed to produce a wide range of Islamic patterns of varying complexity, and then to complete them in colours of your own choice.

The interpretation and implementation of the basic Islamic rules for women's dress vary from country to country and are subject to cultural and individual styles. Muslimahs in Northern Africa and the Middle East dress quite differently from those in Pakistan and Southeast Asia. When is comes to decoration, a specific type of ornamental design has been developed in the Muslim world, which employs a variety of geometric patterns, stylized floral elements and ornate calligraphy. On clothing this decoration often appears in the form of embroidery.

Islamic Fashion contains images of dress (including modern fashion) from several Muslim regions. Also included are renderings of embroidered, printed and woven decorative elements. Book includes a CD with ready-to-use files.

Originating from Japan's Edo period (1615-1867), tansu refers mostly to wooden cabinets, boxes and chests. The gifted creators of this art were deservedly esteemed by Japanese society, leaving a rich and influential legacy. Their work was almost anonymous, though, and the history has remained in the shadows - until now. Japanese Cabinetry: The Art and Craft of Tansu is the first truly definitive volume on tansu, giving voice to the long-overlooked craftsmen and overdue respect for the craft. This book provides a broad representation of cabinetry designs along with contextual history, gleaning insights from the cabinetry itself. From trunks with wheels to shipboard safes, from kitchen cupboards to clothing chests, tansu were the receptacles of an age of economic expansion. Japanese Cabinetry chronicles not only the physical characteristics and details of tansu, but also the historical eras and societal factors that influenced the craft.

Reprint of a rare, undated, late-19th-century Japanese volume.

Japan's impact on Western art was as immediate and almost as cataclysmic as the influence of the West on Japanese life. After Commodore Perry opened Japan's door to the outside world in 1858, a wealth of visual information from the Japanese traditions of ceramics, metalwork and architecture, as well as printmaking and painting, reached the West and brought electrifying new ideas on composition, colour and design. This is a study of how Japanese ideas have inspired artists such as Monet, Degas, Whistler and Van Gogh. Japanese conventions of symbolism underlie the use of decorative motifs in European symbolism and art nouveau, and the Zen idea of spontaneity is the ultimate source of both the apparently capricious shapes of art nouveau ware and the development of an abstract "calligraphy" in abstract expressionism.
