Josephine RoutJapanese Dress in Detail (V&A Fashion in Detail)

It is awesome the pictures are great and is informative on the history of Japanese dress.

I’ve adored kimono since the time I lived in Japan in the 1960’s. What a great addition to my collection of information

The book is beautiful! Glorious photographs, interesting text--it's a feast! My in-laws lived in Okinawa during my father-in-law's career in the military, and Mom loves the gorgeous fabrics she encountered while there. It is all wrapped up and waiting to be opened. I think she will love it.

From hair ornaments to foot wear the color photos are outstanding with some commentary and a list of books for further reading at the end.

This is a superb book that provides detailed and informative images of the fabric and construction of beautiful Nipponese clothing. I've seen some of the V&A's collection of Nippon clothes and this expands upon and amplifies that experience but anyone with an interest should obtain this book!

A sumptuous book well written very informative.

Beatiful

VA did a good job with this, per usual
