**Abstract Pattern Portfolio Plate No. 30 (1930) by Mezuki Heitarô**
This archival print from *Abstract Pattern Portfolio* (Plate No. 30, 1930) by Mezuki Heitarô features four geometric compositions in bold, contrasting colors. Drawing on early 20th-century Japanese design aesthetics and Western abstraction, these patterns explore symmetry and rhythm through triangular, angular, and repeating motifs.
The top band uses beige, crimson, navy, and white in an interlocked triangular arrangement, while the second band juxtaposes warm orange with deep blue and black to create perspectival depth. The third design transitions to purples and blues with angular steps, invoking dynamic visual energy. The final section employs green, yellow, and blue in compact parallelograms, offering a playful combination of color and form.
This work is part of a rare portfolio that reflects the dynamic intersection of traditional and modern styles in 1930s design. Perfect for study or appreciation of a landmark moment in pattern and ornamentation history.
