Summary |
Japanese quilting was inspired after the exhibition of the Jonathan Holstein and Gail Van Der Hoof toured Japan in 1976. the fifties and sixties have been uncreative years for the needlewomen - handmade goods had been out of fashion - so housewives were itching to use their hands again, and although they were impressed by the wonderful graphic designs in the Holstein collection, it was also the lovely old fabrics and the use of scraps that attracted them. We Japanese have traditionally cherished old fabrics, and the idea of creating something artistic and useful from scraps appealed to our ideal beauty. This book discovers the beauty and design of Japanese quilts. |
