devoted to the study of temari and mathematics
The dual relationship of the Platonic solids is a common structure for temari designs. The tables below list the published patterns using this structure. These are only designs that use stitched triangles, squares and pentagons. They do not include any designs that might use other stitching elements (such as a tri-wing in a triangle) in the same structure.
The information in these tables is taken from my personal library. I do not have access to all of the published temari pattern sources so it is not a complete listing. All Japanese books are listed but their ISBN number as well as their translated title. The title translations are from the book listing on TemariKai.com. Please note that it is possible to translate titles differently so you may know the source by a slightly different name, but the ISBN number is absolute.
