 SEKKA, KAMISAKA:, Senshoku Zuan Kairo    (One Hundred Patterns of Waves). Kyoto, Uns›d›, Meiji 36 (1903).
SEKKA, KAMISAKA:
Senshoku Zuan Kairo (One Hundred Patterns of Waves). Kyoto, Uns›d›, Meiji 36 (1903).
. Folio (36.3 x 24.6 cm). Complete with 36 leaves. Thirty-five multiple woodblock-printed designs. Japanese colophon at end. Original paper-covered boards, title label and red Asian stamp on upper cover, red Asian stamp. Binding worn with some paper loss. First published in 1902, this is a second edition. Scarce stunning kimono pattern book (zuan-ch› ) by Kamisaka Sekka, known as the father of Japanese modern design. Contains 97 abstract designs inspired by the subject of waves. Light oxidation to two patterns on first page, some minor discolouration to paper but overall a good copy. Sekka initially worked in the traditional Rinpa style founded in the 17th century (and later developed into Neo-Rinpa style) and after a visit to Europe in 1901, he was also clearly influenced by the Art Nouveau style. Many of his works display a fusion of traditional Japanese and contemporary Western design concepts. His exclusive design works were produced by the renowned publishing company Uns›d› in Kyoto. At this time, the Japanese textile industry boomed and a growing demand for new designs was aroused. The publishers collaborated with talented artists to produce this kind of design manual. They were used as manuals for craftsman but also appreciated as beautiful objects to be enjoyed for their own sake. Ref.: Kamisaka Sekka: Dawn of modern Japanese Design, 2012. Sekka initially worked in the traditional Rinpa style founded in the 17th century (and later developed into Neo-Rinpa style) and after a visit to Europe in 1901, he was also clearly influenced by the Art Nouveau style.

Production of domestic sarasa began in the late 1600s when skilled Japanese dye workers found a method to replicate the designs of Indian calicos.
