Spineless accordion-style binding that unfolds rather than opens. Color illustrations throughout. "Exquisite full-color plates depict 216 winged beauties, soaring and drifting across the pages in seamless flight. Ideal for lovers of fine art and for use by graphic artists, designers, and craftworkers." Unfolds to become a 31-foot-long tapestry evoking the grace, movement, color, and delicacy of butterflies, which the Japanese artist used as symbols for the brightly clad dancing girls of his dream.
