During the time of the Taisho period, when Western civilization and culture conquered Japanese society, the Japanese people found ways to adapt their own Kimono culture with the new Western influence. They also began to apply new sewing and dyeing techniques to older culture and designs. This book features kimono and obi from the Edo period to the present day. Selected for their color effects and their place in the world of graphic arts, the result is a very Japanese-like collection.
