Bringing together more than 100 items of clothing, this book
reveals the intricacies of Japanese dress from the 18th 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 aspects of
clothing, from hair accessories and necklines to hemlines and
shoes. Each garment or object is accompanied by a short text
exploring its structure and the fascinating range of decorative
techniques employed, including embroidery, weaving, lacquering,
stencilling, dyeing and digital technology. Specially commissioned
detail photography and line drawings provide an invaluable resource
for Japanophiles, students, collectors, designers and lovers of
fashion and world dress.
