This is an excerpt from the reissue of "Bijutsu Kai," a collection of design patterns published by the Kyoto-based publishing house "Unnso-do" in the Meiji era (1900s), which was reissued around 1990. Despite being a reissue, the beauty of the hand-printed woodblock on washi paper gives it a charm that is absent in contemporary books. The designs featured in "Bijutsu Kai" are remarkable for their exquisite blend of Eastern and Western elements, which is hard to associate with designs from around 1900. This unique collection achieves a sophisticated form and color palette not typically found in classical patterns.
Originally, these were "pattern collections" created by unknown creators such as "designers" and "pattern designers." During the Meiji era, it was anonymous craftsmen who were actually engaged in designing in the manufacturing field. With the expansion of trade routes along with the laying of railways and the diversification of citizens' tastes, there was a growing need for innovative designs suitable for the new era, ranging from kimonos and ceramics to fans and insect cages. It was these individuals who felt compelled to exert their creativity. "Bijutsu Kai," which reached their hands every month, became a free source of designs by talented designers, enriching Japanese handicrafts with their designs.

For our customers in Australia:
Orders below $1000 AUD are regarded as 'low-value imports' by Australian customs. As of 01 July 2018, customs duties may apply to any goods imported from overseas by consumers in Australia. For more information please visit the Australian customs website (http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Impo/Buyi).
