Aprašymas

"In all things, only the old ways are beloved" - Yoshida Kenk¿, Tsurezuregusa

Colour Your Own Japanese Puzzle Purses rediscovers the forgotten art of the puzzle purse, with an introduction to the history and techniques and 80 pre-illustrated templates featuring 20 different vintage Japanese-inspired designs for you to detach, colour, write and slip into a loved one's pocket or bag or to send on any occasion - whether as love tokens, birthday greetings, well wishes, congratulations or simply to delight your friends and loved ones.

A popular Victorian love token, puzzle purses are elaborately folded letters that reveal layers of beautiful artwork and romantic messages as they open. Conceal your own message within the folds of these beautifully-illustrated letters, with different layers of meaning to uncover as your recipient opens it up to reveal the true core. Puzzle purses draw their origins from the tradition of Japanese folded letters (itogami) an early form of 'letterlocking'.

This book is perfect for fans of letter writing, gift stationery, adult colouring and paper crafts, and for those who enjoy or want to recreate a traditional Japanese aesthetic.
