Good taste in art- select the right thing for the right place.
Ornamentation exists for itself
Decoration exists for the thing it is on & it must be consistent with that which it decorates. (texture & color; structure;) (crying need rightful us unhampered)

1. large bold design unsuited to fine delicate stitchery.
2. "natural flowers" in silks - unsuccessful
3. Should be conventionalized-
Characheristic of Japanese art- conventional
leaves so much unsaid -imagination
