Borrowed Landscapes in Fabric

SHIMI JIMI

1. keenly, deeply, fully; (penetrating) to the core, to the heart
2. rapt, engaging; full of feeling (lit. 'staining' the sentiments)
3. quietive, soothing; poignant, evocative

Volume 4 reviews 23 shimi jimi ("familar") fabrics that borrow upon traditional Japanese weaving-from retakes on basho banana fibre cloth to retro-creations of Edo-period striped cottons, all deja-vued via the latest technologies. Laid out as a continuous handscroll in book form, remarkable English design educator Jane Rapley unfolds a shimi jimi tale of our "most unforgettable fabrics" and the people who love them.
Hardcover; 48 pp, 30 all-colour photos; ¥2,200.
