SUMMARY- Yuko Watanabe is the editor of "Patchwork Quilt Tsüshin" and knows the Japanese quilting scene extremely well. This gallery book has a ton of eye candy and goes into great detail about the aspects and history of patchwork and quiltmaking in Japan and its influence around the world. It's an entertaining and very enlightening read. No patterns, just lots and lots of inspiration.
