Item description from seller

190 pages, illustrations (some colour); 32 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. OVERSIZE! Additional shipping charges may be requested for international & priority orders. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "This collection in the Museum of Art at the Rhode Island School of Design, is one of the finest in the United States and was assembled largely on the spot in Japan during the 1920's by Rhode Islander Lucy Truman Aldrich. The 47 costumes came to the Museum by gift and bequest from Miss Aldrich herself and represent all categories of Noh costume. Four essays document the history of the collection, including Miss Aldrich's encounter with Chinese bandits; poetic allusion in the imagery of the robes; the traditional methods of making Noh robes; and the evolution of Noh costume over 650 years. Individual entries with colour illustrations discuss each of the 47 objects." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Introduction, by Susan Anderson Hay; Providence, Paris, Kyoto, Peking: Lucy Truman Aldrich and her collections, by Susan Anderson Hay; Where poetry and pattern meet, by Helen M.
