Fashioning Kimono

Annie Van Assche

Description

Quintessentially Japanese, the kimono today is worn in Japan for weddings, funerals, New Year and other ceremonies, and still holds a special place for the Japanese.

The 150 stunning Japanese kimonos in the Montgomery Collection featured in this publication were created in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book traces the history of the kimono and illustrates the variety of colours, techniques and design used in creating this beautiful and symbolic garment.

The book includes full-page colour photos of kimonos, often close-ups of details, along with information on the period, fabric, size and methods used to create the design. Plus 5 essays focus on the history and social aspects of kimono.
