みしん刺繍ひとりまなび
A Japanese self-study manual on machine embroidery, written by Hatsu Riiko (Rimako Hata) and published in Tokyo in 1912 by Nihon Jitsugyo Shokai for home sewers learning embroidery alone. Its pictures show embroidery motifs, lace-like patterns and stitch diagrams: a spiral and a looped line, a radiating circular web, shaded leaf forms, and printed lace panels with floral sprays and dotted outlines, giving a designer ready-made repeat and ornamental motifs.
