About the DesignsJapanese design has been influenced by many cultures, notably Chinese, Korean, Indian and Persian through hundreds of years of invasion, wars and trading. Eventually the influences became completely absorbed and helped to develop original Japanese expression. Symbols, emblems and pictorial images were used to embellish anything from a simple tea bowl to a paper umbrella. Every period in Japan's history has produced its own distinct artistic style. During the Kamakura period (1185-1338) the military class, or samurai, developed simple designs with subtle coloring to decorate their armor. Later, during the Momoyama period (1573-1603) the kimono - the loose-fitting traditional Japanese dress - became a beautiful art form. Intricately woven, brocaded or embroidered fabrics were used, as were plain fabrics which were tie or stencil dyed to produce elaborate motifs.
