This collection of patterns present s afurther study in the Japanese aesthetic of natural beauty as embodied in the phrase Kacho fugetsu or "flowers, birds, wind, and moon." Each subject is divided into its own section and each pattern is a testament of how engrained these designs are in Japanese culture and how adaptable they must be to remain influential in modern times.
