This book contains a wealth of original line drawings inspired by the treasures of the Shōsōin Repository.
On the opposite page of each illustration, you’ll find a colourful reference version to guide you.
You may wish to use it as a colouring book—bringing each image to life with coloured pencils or watercolours in the shades that speak to you.
Alternatively, you can trace the outlines with a pen, experiencing for yourself the craftsmanship of artisans from the Tempyo era.
Enjoy the beauty of the Shōsōin treasures, passed down through more than a millennium.
To preserve the unique charm of these authentic works, both the line drawings and the coloured examples have been carefully reproduced with attention to historical detail.
