About this book

Discover the colors, shapes and patterns of Japan! This activity book packs 200 puzzles about traditional colors (indigo, vermilion, gold, matcha), famous patterns (Seigaiha waves, Asanoha stars, Ichimatsu checks, Kikko hexagons, Shippo rings) and friendly shapes (circles, triangles, stars, crescent moons) — with temari balls, kites, fans, lanterns and kimono cloth on every page, and no scary scenes, so it is safe and friendly for young readers. There are no wrong colors — every page is yours to color your way!

Inside you will find: 50 MAZES — help weavers, painters, kite flyers and pattern keepers reach wave gates, check halls, hexagon workshops and lantern alleys. Every maze is computer-checked so it always has a way through. 50 DOT-TO-DOTS — connect the numbers and shapes and patterns appear: a circle, a Seigaiha wave, an Asanoha star, a fan, a lantern, Mt Fuji and more. 50 COLORING PAGES — big, bold pictures of pattern walls, temari balls, kites, umbrellas, torii gates and quilts, with Japanese names in romaji to learn while you color. The real traditional pattern shapes are drawn true, ready for your own colors. 50 WORD SEARCHES — 10 playful themes, 350 hidden words about the colors of Japan, shapes all around, stripes dots and checks, pattern play, color mixing, Japanese pattern names, kimono cloth, paper crafts, party colors and sweet treat colors.
