Omiyage: Handmade Gifts from Fabric in the Japanese Tradition [Kumiko Sudo] on giuliettasprint.konfer.eu *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Bestselling author. Editorial Reviews. From Library Journal. "Omiyage" is the Japanese word for gift. Sudo, author of a number of books on Japanese quilting including Harmonies.
Though it may seem effortless from the outside, the giving of omiyage is a very structured and systematic process. More so than a simple gesture, omiyage is a way of life. When I was staying with my friend in Japan a few years ago, we decided to go see her family that lived out of town. The first thing we did after arriving to the bullet train station was to stop by an omiyage shop and pick up a few gifts for them. And for the record, the packaging is usually very aesthetically pleasing, which brings exclusivity to even the simplest product.
Usefulness and convenience are greatly valued. Stationery such as notebooks, folders, and pens can also make good gifts — the basic ideology to stick to is to stay away from trinkets and useless items that will only amount to clutter.
In this case, generic, group-oriented gifts are perfectly acceptable. As most meetings will happen over tea, the cakes were a perfect addition, and much appreciated. To this end the book concentrates on the fundamentals of the theory and nomenclature, and on the discussion of well-documented illustrations of these fundamental principles, including many now-classic studies in the subject.
No previous knowledge of either polymers or vibrational spectroscopy is assumed. The book will be of value to anyone beginning research on the vibrational spectroscopy of polymers, either from a physics or a chemistry background. It is intended to be especially suitable for use in undergraduate courses in physics, chemistry or materials science at both universities and polytechnics.
