Product Description

Review
`Absolutely mouth-watering ... simply stunning'
--Stitch

Product Description
This lavishly illustrated book showcases fifty-five masterworks by Japanese kimono artist Itchiku Kubota (19172003). Kubotas unique method of decoration combines stitch-resist and ink drawing with complex colourlayering techniques to achieve hauntingly beautiful landscapes with richly textured surfaces and an impressionistic rendering of nature never before seen in the textile arts. Here his series of monumental kimono reveal an entirely new approach that elevates the work to installation art. This landmark publication is guaranteed to appeal to anyone interested in art, craft, textiles or the Far East.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Book for textile artists , 8 Feb 2009
By B. Barford (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book illustrates the incredible work of Itchiku Kubota. His kimonos illustrate his artistic achievement in the skills of dyeing and embroidery. Having seen many of the kimonos at an exhibition some time ago in London, I am thrilled to be able to have a book reminding me how extraordinary and beautiful his work is. Highly recommended for anyone interested in textile design/history,
