This book is the first in a series of publications prepared as companion texts to collections of textiles I have compiled. My hope is that the compendiums, in the form of text and illustrations, will help you gain a better understanding of the textile treasures you may currently possess, or perhaps be of help in making educated choices as you expand upon what you already cherish or are able to view in the collections of others.
Three versions are available to suit your interest level and budget.
-stand alone book, shown on this page
-book plus seven mounted, indigo-dyed samples from Japan illustrating the main categories presented in the text. Housed in a copper-embossed box with a magnetic closure.
-a deluxe, limited edition including A Collector’s Guide to Japanese Textiles: INDIGO plus Singing the Blues and forty-four mounted samples–all housed in a beautifully hand-crafted wooden box hand crafted by Anthony Klissus, a loom builder.
