"Shinsen Kodaimoyo Kangami." : Nueva serie de modelos de antiguas telas

Kodama · 1882 · 2 pictures

A Japanese pattern book of 1882 by Kodama, offering new series of models of ancient textiles, with Spanish title and handwritten Latin-script captions added in the margins. The two pictures show printed textile swatches in teal, blue, and pink, with stylized floral, fern, and bird motifs arranged in repeating panels. A designer could draw on their dense all-over repeats and the limited palette of muted indigo, teal, and rose for surface pattern work.
