着物と日本の色 by Anonim Pdf

This distinctive volume reveals a unique antique kimono collection through various delicate Japanese colors and their use in kimono. The Japanese sensibility is immediately apparent in the classification of the nine traditional color categories of red, green, pink, blue, brown, purple, yellow, black/white, and gold/silver. Each spread in Kimono and the Colors of Japan presents a single color showing a page-wide photo of a kimono accompanied by a description of the color and its meaning in the context of Japanese culture. The author explains, "We organized the kimono and obi (sash) according to what I like to call 'Japanese Kokoro no Iro', colors of the Japanese heart. Each category presents what individual colors express or signify. For example, we use white, black and gold as an expression of cheer. Red indicates the sun, blood, and fire. White, black, and silver express sadness." With the knowledge of both Western and traditional Japanese fashion cultures, Yumioka presents and describes his collection in an easily accessible style.

Strange and Frightful Yokai Coloring by Anonim Pdf

Color your way through a bestiary of supernatural creatures from Japanese folklore, and discover their origins as you go. Yōkai​ is a Japanese term for mythical beings that encompasses a range of supernatural phenomena, including demons, monsters, ghosts, and shapeshifters. Known to be mischievous, wise, and eccentric when teaching life lessons to humans, the creatures are often at the center of popular anime and manga stories. With Strange & Frightful Yōkai Coloring, get to know the different types of yōkai​ and the folklore behind them as you color their images. No artistic experience is needed to bring these fantastical creatures to life--just choose your palette and start coloring through 60 unique templates. Explore a range of yōkai​ apparitions, including: Kappa かっぱ Translated as "river child," kappa have some humanoid features, such as long arms and legs, but are largely aquatic with the beaks and shells of turtles. Inhabiting rivers, streams, and other bodies of water, they are expert swimmers. Kappa are keenly intelligent creatures, being one of the few yōkai to be able to speak human languages and can be friend or foe to people. Oni おに One of the supreme icons of Japanese folklore, the oni is a demonic ogre that brings disaster and disease. They stand taller than most trees and don wild hair and crazy eyes, two or more horns, and teeth-like tusks. They can be found on mountaintops, caves, remote islands, and in the underworld of hell. Much like the kappa, oni can be intelligent and are uniquely known as skilled sorcerers. Tengu だいてんぐ Sovereign among the various tengu, the daitengu are human-like entities that wear the robe of a monk, have red faces, and especially long noses. The longer the nose, the more powerful the spirit. They spend their lives in solitary meditation in pursuit of perfection. Natural disasters and massive calamities are often attributed to angry daitengu but the majority of the time they are kind and give aid to humans. Find yourself transported to a phantasmal land of Japanese beasts and spirits with Strange & Frightful Yōkai Coloring.

Fashioning Kimono by Annie M. Van Assche Pdf

"High-quality color photographs and period pictures illustrate this sumptuous volume, which should interest experts and laymen alike." --Choice The Japanese kimono is celebrated worldwide for its elegant, distinctive silhouette. Though quintessentially Japanese, the kimono form has influenced fashion designers around the globe.

Some of the garments reflect historical styles of design and techniques, while others illustrate a dramatic break with aspects of kimono tradition, as themes and designs from Western art began to predominate over Japanese references. The book, published to accompany a major traveling exhibition, traces the history of the kimono and illustartes the variety of colors, techniques, and designs used in creating this beautiful and symbolic garment. The kimonos featured here are drawn from the internationally renowned Montgomery Collection of Lugano, Switzerland.
