Book of Designs (Tsuchinoto shinsen Komon chō 己新撰 小紋帳 )
A 1660 Japanese pattern book of small-scale textile motifs, printed as numbered woodblock sheets for dyers and fabric makers. The pages show rows of dark square and arched panels filled with repeating geometric and floral micro-patterns, a reference a designer could draw on for dense surface textures and repeat structures.
