Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago

A very good "how to" manual for embroidery styles found in Japan, China and Korea. Covers the history of embroidery technique from personal and home accessories, to Chinese Dragon Robes, Japanese Kimono and Korean Wedding Robes. Full color plates augmented with black and white line drawings showing robe construction and embrodery placement. A very nice section in the back covering Chinese symbolism as found in dragon robes and other classical textiles.
