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.

Honestly I like all the Japanese designs! I’m fallen in love with the Japanese tableware, tea sets and everything kitchen-related.
I love all aspects of Japanese design, for example, the use of color, simple lines, and asymmetry. I love the traditional wagara patterns for sashiko and pottery and the beautiful designs of indigo dyed fabrics.
