Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Highlights from the world's largest collection of Japanese katagami stencils for dyeing fabrics for kimonos
Long description:
For 125 years, the Museum of Decorative Arts (Kunstgewerbemuseum) at Dresden's Pillnitz Palace has been home to a treasure trove of Japanese craftsmanship that has remained largely unknown. It consists of 92 cassettes holding more than 15,000 dyeing stencils for textile printing. These so-called katagami were used primarily for fabrics from which the kimonos of samurais were tailored. They show geometric ornaments as well as patterns and motifs depicting elements of nature in virtuoso abstraction, and were handmade from mulberry bark in a lengthy process and engraved using the finest cutting techniques. Fabrics decorated with katagami prints came to Europe in the 19th century and soon had a strong influence on fine and applied art as well as emerging industrial design. This ancient technique remains influential today in graffiti and street art, for example in the works of celebrated street artist and political activist Banksy.
This opulent book features for the first time around 140 katagami of outstanding quality from the unique Dresden collection. The selection is dedicated to the representation of rain and water, which have been of major spiritual and cultural significance throughout Japan's history. Some 220 illustrations, mainly in full color, are supplemented with essays by international scholars, who explore in detail all aspects of these fascinating works of Japanese applied art.
