These patterns represent the best of a Japanese aesthetic for transforming the naturally occurring phenomena around them into beautiful art and repeating patterns. The focus is on waves and clouds and the emotions these designs conjure up in viewers. The patterns were carefully selected and are divided into easy-to-reference categories based on their type and emphasis-rough waves versus flowing water, auspicious clouds versus boiling clouds.
Shigeru Nakamura (Japan) started his career as an art director in Japan. He established his agency, Cobble Collaboration in 1987, and has produced numerous design pattern books under its own brand. Nakamura is a member of JAGDA (Japan Graphic Designers Association)
