Synopsis "The Guide to Kimono: A Handbook to Identifying, Dating, and Pricing Antique and Vintage Japanese Kimono"

Finally, the kimono can be appreciated and understood by all. This concise, fully illustrated guide examines the ever-popular and iconic kimono--a form of traditional Japanese clothing that has existed for centuries and continues to be a part of Japan's rich cultural heritage. Aimed at kimono enthusiasts and collectors of all levels, this up-to-date resource identifies and explains different types of antique and vintage kimono and kimono-related items, materials, construction, and motifs. Full-color images and easy-to-follow descriptions arm readers with the knowledge they need to determine age and value of kimono, as the guide demystifies and debunks myths and misconceptions about this mysterious and often-misunderstood garment. Features include - Japanese spellings and English transliterations for each clothing type; - a comprehensive glossary of helpful terms; - information on common, uncommon, and rare kimono motifs, from tigers and cherry blossoms to mountains, snowflakes, and swans; - close-up images of textiles showcase different fabric materials and techniques; and - tips for documenting, photographing, and storing kimono. This helpful guide is ideal for individuals who have found, inherited, or purchased a kimono and want to know more about it.
