ISBN: 0-673-36054-7 Language: English Description: This fascinating activity book reveals ancient Japan's relationship to nature and the seasons during the Edo period -- a time of the shogun and samurai warriors as well as cherry blossom festivals and haiku poetry. Using symbols of ancestral crests and nature designs, children will learn about ancient Japanese culture through five art projects: hand-bound book, samurai helmet, wind-sock kite, poetry fan, and ceremonial gift-wrapping.
