This is especially true of tea ceremony utensils, and there are many items that have been handed down to the present day as standard items, such as \"Rikyu-style jujube\" and \"Kuro-raku tea bowls\". This has given birth to a culture that is unique to Japan, such as \"Mitate\" ('to see an object, not in the form that was originally intended for it, but as another thing'), \"Utsushi\" (imitating the form and design of an existing original piece), and \"Honka-dori\" (a method of quoting motifs from artworks of the past).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Name of Shapes\u003c\/em\u003e is an exquisite, inspiring and informative book for anyone with an interest in design and patterns, and\/or Japanese culture and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe main text\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in both Japanese and English.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uguisustore.pro\/products\/the-roots-of-pattern\"\u003eYou may also like Natsuko's other book The Roots of Patterns\u003c\/a\u003e--\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0203\/8604\/files\/katachi-23_600x600.jpg?v=1662386963\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0203\/8604\/files\/katachi-43_600x600.jpg?v=1662387000\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0203\/8604\/files\/katachi-55_600x600.jpg?v=1662387030\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0203\/8604\/files\/katachi-82_600x600.jpg?v=1662387062\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical a-spacing-mini\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 14.7\u003c\/span\u003ecm × H21cm, 192 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Natsuko Nose\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aiko Hama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese and English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Genkosha\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNatsuko Nose is a freelance editor and writer who also helps her family's Tea Ceremony equipment supply business while she writes\/publishes travel and tea ceremony themed books.\u003cbr\u003eNatsuko is currently based in our local Mashiko town, in an exquisite traditional style house which she has decorated so beautifully with her exceptional taste.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40149158854723,"sku":"","price":28.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0203\/8604\/products\/IMG_0400.jpg?v=1663281591","url":"https:\/\/uguisustore.pro\/products\/pre-order-the-name-of-shapes","provider":"UGUiSU STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
