Organized according to motifs traditionally associated with each season of the year, Kimono Design interprets the kimono's special language as expressed in depictions of:
- Flowers and grasses
- Birds and other animals
- Symbols of power, luck and prestige
- Land-and-seascapes
- scenes from literature, history and daily life
- scenes of travel and the Japanese concept of other lands
- and many others...
Extensive notes on all the motifs demonstrate how the kimono reflects changing times and a sense of the timeless. Information on jewelry, hairpins and other accessories is scattered throughout to give a fuller sense of the Japanese art of dress. This is a volume that Japanophiles, historians, artists and designers will all cherish.
