The Landscapes of Itchiku Kubota
KORTE INHOUD
This lavishly illustrated book showcases fifty-five masterworks by Japanese kimono artist Itchiku Kubota (1917-2003). Initially determined to unlock the secrets of dyed and painted Japanese textiles of the fourteenth to early seventeenth centuries, Kubota ultimately invented a unique method of decoration.

The latter two are intended to be shown sequentially, much like the panels of a Japanese screen or decorated sliding doors.
