First Sentence
Tracing the origins of Japanese dress is largely a matter of conjecture, since the earliest fragments of Japanese textiles that have been preserved date from the Asuka period (552-646). Read the first page

WOW! I was so happy to have found a book which explains a lot of the vocabulary and concepts involved in describing the Japanese cultural icon - kimono. A very good book about how to wear these garments, how and where they are made, and a little bit of history. Addresses mostly women, but also men and children. If you want to know about kimono - start here. If you want to know about Japanese culture, again, start here - the clothes reflect the culture. Enjoy the book, I do.

In this book you'll discover the history of kimono, and complete and detailed explanations of actual and colorful kimonos presented with good quality pictures. You'll also been presented to all accessoires which are needed to wear decently a kimono. In the end you will get some hints about behaviour you should have while wearing a kimono. I can recommend this book without restrictions to anyone willing to have "de la classe !" wearing a superb silk kimono.

This book is one of the most beautlfuly written on the subject of the Japanese national dress, the kimono. Of all of the books I have read on the kimono, I found this one to be the most consice and entertaining . Nario Yamanaka, a leading athourity on kimonos and who has also established the Sodo Kimono Academy in Japan , truly knows the kimono and exibits its true beauty in a most lovely manner. Included in the book is a brief history of the orgin of the kimono, the process of making the garment, different types of kimonos for different seasons, the tying of the obi sash, beautiful color photos and kimono etiquette. There is a also a detailed step - by - step section on how to wear the kimono. If one is a true aficinado of the kimono, This book should be included in your library.I highly recommend it !!
