Compare Japanese Sewing Books
Every value comes from the publisher's own page (linked with the date we checked it). When a publisher page does not say something — for example whether seam allowances are included — we show Not confirmed rather than guessing. "Not confirmed" never means "No".

Japanese vs English editions
We keep the Japanese original and any English edition as separate records with their own ISBN. A similar title does not prove the content is the same: page count, sizes and included patterns can differ, so we only compare what each publisher states.

| Notes | The publisher currently sells this title as an e-book only (print not handled; e-book release 10 Feb 2023). | The English publisher describes it as the pattern-cutting book from Japan by the same author. We have not confirmed page by page that it matches the Japanese edition, so it is listed as a separate book. |
Two books in the table above are revised Japanese editions (増補改訂版). Their earlier first editions are different books with different ISBNs and are not yet in the database.
