Kaoru IshikawaCritiques

Japanese craft/sewing. I came across this randomly at the library and checked it out. This is more of a browse-for-inspiration kind of book, though there are some (somewhat sparse) instructions included for most of the projects. If you own all the hardware (grommet punches, purse frames, etc.) to make these things then you're probably halfway there already and don't need the instructions anyway.

What I liked best about this book was the way Ishikawa describes the evolution of QC in Japan, how they didnot just 'ape' the West, but developed something unique while keeping the world standards at their time in mind.
