Summary:"Travel back in time to learn about the artistry on perhaps the world's most iconic traditional garment - the kimono. Experience the rich and vibrant history of this simple yet sophisticated garment and the skill, tradition, symbolism, and art it represents through over 600 images. Displayed on over 100 full-page color images are supreme examples of the kimono, representing the best from the world's private and museum collections. These kimonos were created during arguably its greatest artistic peak, in the period 1905 through 1950, when great Japanese aesthetic traditions were in dynamic conversation with avant-garde art from the West." -- Page 4 of cover
