Japan's ornamental tradition is famous for its subdued and highly stylised motifs. Many of these take their inspiration from the natural world, with typical favourites such as the crane and the carp, as well as an enormous variety of flowers and foliage. All the illustrations are stored in high-resolution format on the enclosed free CD-ROM and are ready to use for professional quality printed media and web page design. The pictures can also be used to produce postcards, or to decorate your letters, flyers, etc. They can be imported directly from the CD into most design, image- manipulation, illustration, word-processing and e-mail programs; no installation is required. For most applications, single images can be used free of charge. Please consult the introduction to this book, or visit our website for conditions.

Japanese Patterns,
This review is from: Japanese Patterns (Agile Rabbit Editions) (Paperback)
The book is beautiful and the patterns are great inspiration but be aware of the following:
- The images in the book are black and white - The CD-ROM includes images only in TIF, GIF, and PCT only (no .ai) - The license in the book notes that any commercial use is not allowed unless Pepin Press is contacted (buying the book only allows personal usage).

Resource for graphic artists.,

This review is from: Japanese Patterns (Agile Rabbit Editions) (Paperback)
The best thing about all the books from Agile Rabbit Press are the CD-ROMs. They come with full 1200 dpi scans (huge) of the images in the books! This is an excellent source of quality art!
Anyone 12 and older who has a copy of something like photoshop can use the magic of "click+alt+shift+backspace" to magically change the black and white images to whatever colour your heart desires. With this book you could make your own designs without having to recreate an old fashioned Japanese pattern by hand!

Great Resource,
By
This review is from: Japanese Patterns (Agile Rabbit Editions) (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful resource for graphic designers. It has an incredible array of different black and white designs and comes with a cd-rom for using them on the computer. Yes, it has no color, but with just about any graphics program you can change that. I've even used a few for background elements in artwork or for the inspiration for the designs of kimonos I've drawn. This is not a picture book, but a look into japanese graphic patterns. Very lovely.
