Foreigners have admired the eöegant tradional dress of Japan ever since the opening of the country after the 1868 Meiji Restoration, but in those days the Japanese were infatuated with novelties from the West. For the convenience of foreigners that great variety of garments was summarised in the newly coined word kimono or thing to wear. This book focuses on the period from 1910 to 1940. Much of the information on textile techniques, the meaning of the motifs and the History of the kimono is provided on the basis of the 120 illustrated garments themselves.
