Here's what the back envelope says,

"A traditional Japanese room is a study in simplicity. To the western eye, accustomed to overstuffed furniture crammed into overstuffed rooms, a traditional Japanese room, furnished only with tatami mats on the floor, a few cushions for sitting, and perhaps a storage chest on top of which rests a single bowl or a prized collection, seems impossibly ordered and calm.
Many elements of Japanese design can be successfully incorporated into a typical western home. You might start with a few sitting cushions scattered on the floor in front of the fireplace and a futon for the guest room that can be easily tucked away when not in use.
In this pattern, we have included instructions for making a variety of futon (the Japanese word "futon" describes all types of quilted bedding and floor cushions), Noren (decorative curtains), and a quilted yogi (sleeping kimono). Handwork techniques are included for sashiko quilting and shibori dyeing."
