Another great pick...., Aug 25 2007
By Lorie Schinko - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Japanese Kimono Designs (Paperback)
I looked at many other books on Kimono, some very expensive,beautiful hardcover volumes in fact...(I confess, if I see a book I like in a bookstore, I go directly to Amazon, the prices are so much better...)I was satisfied with this book, it had enough imagery and variety in it for me,should I wish to design my own Kimono.Its great as an artist's reference book, the price is good too. If you want a book with more historical facts, with meanings of colors and symbols, seasonal kimono styles,etc,there are books out there that are really loaded with all kinds of fascinating info. I wish I could afford one of those, but this one does the job for my purposes.

Good book, Feb 8 2011
By K. Porter "Never take life too seriously, you... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Japanese Kimono Designs (Paperback)
This is a great book if you are looking for reference photos of kimono. There is very little text in this book, just nice large clear collection of kimono photos. I have this as an art reference book. The book is not overly large, but that's what makes it affordable. Many of the kimono in this book are historical pieces.
Listmania!
