Ikatto Okada korekushon: Kasuri ni miru Indoneshia no iro to katachi = Ikat

Indonesia is known as the world's largest treasure trove of Ikat textiles. The ancient technique of ikat is still practiced and appreciated throughout the archipelago. Along with batik, ikat weaving is a major constituent of Indonesian cultural legacy. This comprehensive catalogue is for the “Ikat Okada Collection: Colors and Shapes of Indonesia Seen in Ikat Kasuri” Exhibitions which were held at several art museums in Japan in the late 90s. This catalogue explores 210 superb works of ikat that were carefully selected from Mr. Ichiro Okada’s vast collection of Indonesian textiles. Profusely illustrated with beautiful color photographs and accompanied by explanations of the history, culture and techniques of Ikat, this book deepens our understanding of the Indonesian sophisticated Ikat textiles. This book is a valuable reference and a visual feast for textile lovers.
