This is the first in-depth exploration of the art and history of
the kimono in Japan, told from the perspective of one of the
country's oldest and most prestigious kimono houses still in
operation today - the 460-year old House of Chiso. Kimono Couture
highlights Chiso's textile and design innovations and unwavering
commitment to beauty over the centuries, with over thirteen
exquisite kimonos drawn entirely from Chiso's collection, including
a specially-commissioned wedding kimono. The authors contextualize
and illuminate the importance and continuing role of kimonos in
contemporary Japan, and discuss, variously, Chiso's network of
artisans and the survival of endangered techniques and textile
crafts in the 21st century; the current "culture of kimono" in
Japan; Chiso's patronage and collaboration with the famous Kyoto
nihonga artist, Kishi Chikudo (1826-1897); and finally an interview
with Chiso designer, Mr. IMAI Atsuhiro, on the process of
commission, and reflections on Chiso's endeavour for capturing
timeless style and fleeting fashion in contemporary times.
