Fully illustrated guide to kimonos through the ages.

With 190 photographs and illustrations, Kimonos reveals the intricacies of this classic Japanese clothing style from the 3rd century to the present.

Kimonos reveals the intricacies of Japanese dress from the 3rd century to the present. Including garments for women, men and children, the details have been selected both for their exquisite beauty and craftsmanship, and for how much they impart about the wearer's identity, be it age, status or taste. A comprehensive introduction, illuminating the main periods and key themes of Japanese fashion history, is followed by thematic chapters that cover all eras of clothing. Each garment or illustration is accompanied by text exploring its structure and the fascinating range of decorative techniques employed, including embroidery, weaving, lacquering, stencilling, dyeing and digital technology. The kimono has a rich history spanning hundreds of years, and is still worn today as fashionable clothing in Japan.

AUTHOR: Rinko Kimino has written 20 books on kimonos, Japanese folk craft and kabuki and her work has appeared in several books, magazine and newspaper articles. Her works are geared toward the youth of Japan, and promote Japanese traditions such as kimonos and Japanese traditional crafts with a modern sensibility. As a producer of Japanese culture, she wants to share with and educate others on the beauty and healing/calming benefits the classic Japanese ritual of kimonos, kabuki, Japanese calligraphy, traditional art & craft and tea ceremonies can provide. She is also a producer for the development of new kimonos and Japanese accessories to appeal to a contemporary audience.
