The World of Rozome: Wax-Resist Textiles of Japan

Rating:
Summary: Everything on the subject!
Review: If you want to know anything or everything about Japanese textile dyeing techniques, this is the sourcebook. It is expensive, but well worth the price. This is not your usual coffee table book. Sure, it shows pictures of the textiles themselves. But it also discusses the dyeing techniques in great detail. It even gives the reader step by step instructions, with pictures, of how to make and apply to various resists. It even gives recipies for resists! It is an invaluable reference for the textile artist and clothing historian. I have never before seen a book so useful and so informative. It gets the Reconstructing History thumbs up!
