Belvedere (Designer's notebook 4); 1983; 8870700399; Copertina flessibile ; 32 x 24 cm; pp. 112; Volume illustrato a col. e b./n. ; leggeri segni d'uso alla copertina, interno buono; Buono (come da foto). ; This book shows more than 500 designs with graphic motifs, produced in the majority of cases for decorative purposes, mainly by the traditional crafts, out of the most intimate interrelation with Japanese art. Designs and ornamentation found application in, among other things, fabrics and textiles, kimo-nos, gift wrapping paper, book decoration, as well as in adornment of the most varied kinds of commercial products. A decor which is enriched with very simple basic graphic elements, and reflects, in its ordering, the high sensitivity to form of the Japanese orna-mental style. The simple symbolism, the graphic clarity, and the signal character of the motifs, their arrangement in rows, reiteration, duplication or mirroring, their repeat or their symmetry, bear unmistakably the hallmarks of stamp or block printing, which suggests that they early came into use. ;
