Seiei: A Design Book
Seiei: A Design Book is a Japanese pattern book compiled by Yamada Chosaburō and published in Kyoto by Unsōdō in 1907, presumably for artists and craftsmen seeking decorative motifs. Its pictures are flat, stylised designs of flowers, branches, and water swirls in muted browns, blues, and cream, plus a dark-ground frieze of running figures and horse-drawn chariots that a designer might reuse as repeat or border motifs.
