analysing the history of paper and paper-like materials in relation to fashion, art, and design
through creators like Anna Piaggi, John Galliano, Hussein Chalayan, Issey Miyake, Andy Warhol,
Jackie Nickerson, Robert Wilson, Kosuke Tsumura, and many more. Essays by specialists
address the various aspects of this humble material, and inside is a CD of Paperdelic (2006) by

Pictorial Puzzles Of Edo Japan

Seigensha Art Publishing 2016 ISBN 9784861524356 Acqn 26166
Pb 11x15cm 328pp 500col ills 14.95
Pictorial puzzles, or hanji-e, were a popular brain-teasing amusement among Japanese
commoners during the Edo period (1603-1867). Created by the ukiyo-e artists of the time using
diverse patterns and designs, they were elaborately conceived works in their own right.
Presented in traditional iroha order (a type of Japanese poem), this book contains 500 examples
of these curious and challenging puzzles. It is an entertaining and intellectually stimulating look at
the sophisticated customs, not to mention humorous sensibilities, of the people of Edo Japan.

Salt Bags - Iranian Tribal And Rural Weavings

Nazar Research Cultural Institute 2016 ISBN 9786001521867 Acqn 25840
Hb 21x26cm 240pp 175ills 150col 64
Iranian sculptor, scholar, and collector Parviz Tanavoli presents a book about the hand-woven
bags made by Irans tribal peoples. These practical objects are steeped in folkloric narratives and
myths, each a unique expression of their makers. Mainly woven by women, the bags are used by
shepherds to carry salt for their livestock while grazing. Not only are the traditional bags a
reflection of the material culture of the tribes of the Iranian Plateau, they also signify the deep
social significance salt has held since prehistoric times. Like bread, the concept of salt permeates
Iranian culture both historically and today through many sayings, proverbs, rituals, and social
interactions.
