Monogrammatic Embroidery by Calligraphy
This was a chance find at Sanseido bookstore. I hadn't seen this book anywhere, on- or off-line. Since my background is in graphic design, I responded to both the calligraphy aspect and the use of color. Apologies for the non-so-sharp photos. It's hard to keep the camera still while keeping the pages open. I couldn't really scan this book as it doesn't open up easily and I didn't want to squash it in the scanner.

Oh, Francesca, I love the looks of this book! I will try to call Sanseido this weekend to see if they have another copy.

Thank you for posting this! What beautiful things. Do the instructions seem clear enough to follow for the non-Japanese speaking among us?
