In the ancient city of Kyoto, contemporary artisans and designers
are using heritage techniques and traditional clothing aesthetics
to reinvent wafuku (Japanese clothing, including kimono) for modern
life. Japan beyond the Kimono explores these shifts, highlighting
developments in the Kyoto fashion industry such as its integration
of digital weaving and printing techniques and the influence of
social media on fashion distribution systems. Through case studies
of designers, artisans, and retailers, Jenny Hall provides a
comprehensive picture of the reasons behind the production and
consumption of these rejuvenated fashion goods. She argues that
conceptualisations of Japanese tradition include innovation and
change, which is vital to understanding how Japanese cultural
heritage is both sustained and evolving. Essential reading for
students and scholars of fashion, anthropology, and Japanese
studies, Jenny Hall's sensory ethnography is the first of its kind,
describing the lived experiences of people in the Kyoto textiles
industry, explaining the renewal of traditional techniques and
styles, and placing them both within contexts such as transnational
'craftscapes' and fast or slow fashion systems.
