Description
Showcases the art and character of the peaceful Edo period (1615-1867) of Japanese history. The patterns represent the shift of the era that placed a new focus on the craftsmen and artisans of the time and on the culture of the townspeople. Each design was carefully selected and is part of a wide range of categories, from animal and vegetation patterns to geometrical and everyday patterns. The Edo culture is alive within each pattern and represents the atmosphere and vibrancy of a time past.
