A Japanese pattern book of hand-colored woodblock-style plates showing striped and patterned woven textile swatches (shima), each with brief handwritten or printed Japanese captions naming the pattern. The plates show vertical stripes, lattice, diamond, key-fret, chain-link, cloud and floral motifs in many colors. There is almost no running text and no weaving drafts; the value is as a visual sample book of Japanese stripe and pattern designs of the period.
