Today I’m partnering with Tuttle Publishing to give away two (2) copies of Japanese Design by Patricia J. Graham! This giveaway contest is open to everyone worldwide.
In Japanese Design, Asian art expert and author Patricia J. Graham explains how Japanese aesthetics based in fine craftsmanship and simplicity developed. Her unusual, full-color presentation reveals this design aesthetic in an absorbing way, using a combination of insightful explanations and more than 160 stunning photos. Focusing upon ten elements of Japanese design, Graham explores how visual qualities, the cultural parameters and the Japanese religious traditions of Buddhism and Shinto have impacted the appearance of its arts.
Tuttle Publishing has amazing collection of books, especially topics extending in Asian and Japanese cultures. You can start checking out their bestsellers if you are looking for new books to read. I will be giving away more books in the future with Tuttle Publishing, so stay tuned!

I really like how Japanese designs are closely related to nature with images such as bamboos, cherry blossoms, momiji,…
I already “like” just one cookbook on facebook and youtube. I love the Japanese zen-like design. Circular shapes in doorways and the simplicity that is in Japanese design creates a serene atmosphere.
I would love to get a copy of this magazine.
Fingers crossed!
