Antique Japanese Kosode designs: a slightly different kimono colouring book - Antique Japanese Kosode / Kimono Designs: A Slightly Different Kimono Colouring Book Fuyuya

FOR A FEW SAMPLE IMAGES, PLEASE GO TO WWW. FUYUYA. COM This small sized colouring book contains 28 images of kimono designs from 1716, when this style of kimono was known as kosode.
The original books, known as hinagatabon, were sample books for the ordering of new kimonos or historical records of the designs worn in those days. The lines are usually thick, as they are on the original prints, and this is customary for Japanese prints. Please note that this colouring book is designed mainly for pencil, crayon and felt tip pens. It is not advised to use water colouring or big (whiteboard size) markers, as both may bleed through.
If you do want to try with watercolours or big sized markers you may want to use an additional carton in between the pages or separate the pages from the book. We hope you will enjoy these wonderful images.
