Product Description
Product Description
The kimono is an acceptance of tradition which ties the wearer to more than nine centuries of Japanese culture, history and protocol. The enormous variations of kimono designs were the creative products of Japanese artists, originating in the imagination and experience of the wealth classes. Traditional designs are an integral part of the Japanese character, and though the kimono is no longer the basic dress, it still has an artistic and sociological significance to the Japanese people today.

Nice Black and White Silhouettes, But Not Very Helpful,
By Yosa Addiss "yosa" (Lawrence, KS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Japanese Kimono Designs (Paperback)
This is a small collection of some black and white examples of kimono. It may be useful for clip art, and general reference, as the images are lovely.It is not, however, going to be helpful in researching Kimono for historic, costuming, or other purposes. It contains no text, only the large images. I think a basic book of Japanese/Oriental clip art would be more helpful. I have to give it credit though, for being inexpensive, and focusing on kimono in many forms.

Really Only For Children,
By Providencia Hernandez "Provi" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Japanese Kimono Designs (Paperback)
While this book gives a nice, simple, literally black and white overview of kimonos, there's simple not *enough* material. There could be more variety. However it is simple in the fact that there's no text, providing you with less distraction if you're really more of a visual person.Also, if you assumed this was a coloring book as I did, you'll be poorly dissapointed. Technically it could be used as one, but there's too much black area for it be used as such. If you could, get this book second hand for 2 or less dollars or a thrift shop, or from [...], where I got it. |
