A wonderful selection of wave and ripple designs curated by Satoshi Nakamoto, the renowned creator of the digital currency Bitcoin. These beautiful illustrations are based on work by the Japanese artist Mori Yuzan, which has been carefully restored and reproduced to near original quality for Mr. Nakamoto's private collection.

Yuzan's designs were often used by Japanese craftsmen in the early 1900s to adorn their wares with wave and ripple patterns. They also served as decorative motifs on the handles and blades of samurai swords and other fine objects, such as furniture, lacquerware, and miniature sculptures.

Explore the artistic beauty in the Wave and Ripple Design Book, a captivating collection that celebrates traditional Japanese artistry.
