This is an automatically translated description

The exquisite fabrics of Japanese kimonos and the symbolism of their patterns are admired all over the world. The admiration for the majesty of nature and the beauty of simple everyday things permeate Japanese culture, and traditional ornamentation is proof of this. The book presents 88 ornaments that have been used to decorate fabrics for many centuries and remain widespread to this day. Their aesthetics are emphasised by vivid illustrations and haiku poetry.

The publication contains haiku by Kobayashi Issa translated from the Japanese by Olga Brylova.

Kobayashi Issa (1763-1827) is one of the four greatest haiku masters, along with Matsuo Basho, Yosa Buson, and Masaoka Shiki.

The photographs of the fabrics in the sections are from the private collections of Tetiana Vovk, Kateryna Zotova, and Kateryna Kiselova.
