The sister book of Kimono and the Colors of Japan, this book includes plenty of images of summer kimono, focusing on the motifs employed in kimonos and obos, with particular emphasis on the materials used in making summer kimonos. Patterns of flowers and grasses, insects, fish and shellfish, and Western landscapes, in addition to daring colors and delicate embroidery, have been brought in these kimonos to the level of art.
