Dover Publications Inc. 100 Japanese Stencil Designs

The natural Japanese affinity for decorative art is apparent in this striking collection of 104 exquisite stencil designs, reproduced from a rare 19th-century publication. Motifs depict — among other subjects — lush florals, bamboo branches, birds on the wing, and rustic country homes. Captions identify the patterns. Autorid: Friedrich Deneken
