This is a delightfully crafted book. It shows the influences of the Art Nouveau movement on Japanese floral pattern designs. Its unique binding is reminiscent of kimono pattern books -- another delight. The patterns are both simple and complex and artists looking for a good reference book would find this helpful as would the person who enjoys looking at something beautiful. The first 27 pages are filled with art and text describing the transition from more traditional art forms into the Art Nouveau more fluid style. A great gift for an artist friend or a gardener or anyone who enjoys just holding something pretty.
