He worked as an editor at a publishing house in Berlin and published many famous books that covered traditional patterns from all over the world. Later, he went to Turkey and excavated the Hittite city (Karatepe). He made great achievements in both archaeology and design history, such as discovering a bilingual inscription that led to the decipherment of Hittite hieroglyphs. This book was created with an emphasis on its role as a "reference book" for artists and designers of the time to gain new inspiration. Traditional patterns that can now only be seen in museums are recorded with the color sense of the time. ◉⤵︎Search terms #Local toys Folk masks Folk costumes Noro Mountain people Forest people Noh masks Shinto masks Shinto rituals Road god masks Hiroshi Aramata Folk art folkart Saegami casabrutus Out of Mingei Tortoiseshell pattern Mask art Dark mythology Mad Men The world of Mad Men Daijiro Morohoshi Looking for Namiko Keisuke Serizawa Tree bark masks Traditional performing arts The rampage of the gods Jun Wada Kohei Sugiura Yuki Minegishi Jujutsu Kaisen Curses Cursed bodies Cursed binding Ryomen Sukuna Cursed users Fortune telling Curses Deities Princess Mononoke
