Traditional Japanese Design Motifs (Dover Pictorial Archive) Paperback – June 1, 1984

It contains a wide arrange of designs, perfect for any art project. I work in clay, and find it easy to transfer these ideas to my medium. And the price is right!

Really great Japanese culture

The price was definitely low for this book. I found that one design had been cut out, but that wasn't a problem because I pulled pages out anyway. My only wish was that some of the pages could have been displayed on the website.

I have generally been very happy with Dover art and design books, which offer lots of inspiration for a very low price. This one is an exception. The quality of the line drawings is exceptionally poor, making the book virtually useless. I'm not sure why a book of such low quality was published in the first place, nor why Dover would choose to reprint it, but save your money.
