This handsome book illustrates and discusses classical kimono, paintings depicting people dressed in splendid robes, lacquered toiletry objects, and personal ornaments from the 16th to the 18th centuries.
The garments and objects included here were made for everyday use. They eloquently illustrate the life of the Japanese people during the entire span of the Momoyama and Edo periods when Japanese culture and art matured to form the indigenous Japanese style in all expressions of art. The kimono above all blossomed in this period, when textile production reached its highest level of accomplishment in weaving technique and design.

Four Centuries of Fashion
I acquired this book on a field trip with my big brother. When I was 18, he took me down to Washington D.C. to see the AIDS Quilt displayed. It was the last time it was going to be viewed in full because of how large it had grown. I could never put into words what it was like looking at all the panels, seeing inside all of these peoples lives. It was heart-wrenching and life altering. I bought this book as a small reminder of that trip. It doesn't come anywhere near to the experience of seeing it all in person, but it does give you little glimpses into the soul of the quilt itself.
