Shin bijutsukai
Shin bijutsukai is a Japanese pattern book published in Kyoto in 1902 by Yamada Unsōdō, credited to Furuya Kōrin and aimed at decorative artists and designers. Its plates show printed textile and paper patterns in Japanese decorative style, with plain colour grounds and motifs set in repeating arrangements. A designer could take from them the layering of stylised pine, waves, and geometric grids, and the use of flat colour blocks with contrasting outlines.
