  • VIVID - KIMONO AVANT-GARDE IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY by Seigensha

Widely popular in Japan in the first half of the 20th century, Meisen is a kasuri kimono, an inexpensive product for commoners made from fabric that has been woven with fibres dyed specifically to create patterns and images. The fresh designs and vivid colours of this modern textile gave women the freedom to publicly express a personal sense of fashion. As such, the Meisen kimono played an integral role in Japan s modernisation, overturning the stereotypical image of the kimono as luxurious traditional wear. This richly illustrated book introduces around 70 examples of Meisen kimonos from various regions, together with design illustrations and posters from the period.

お手頃価格・先端デザイン・人気女優の広告・アーティストとのコラボ...「銘仙」って100年前のファストファッション!?意表をつく斬新模様の「銘仙」に、いま国内外から注目が集まっています。三大産地のひとつであった栃木・足利に残る貴重な資料と着物から、その背景と魅力を探ります。
