Excellent foundation,
By Moto-ya.com (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Textile Art of Japan (Paperback)
This is a great introduction to the textiles of Japan, particularly for people just beginning to develop their interest in this area. The book presents a balanced discussion of the subject by providing a good amount of information on history and technique, without spinning the reader with overwhelming detail about either. Of special interest to us were the practical (functional) aspects of the fabrics, as well as the effects the fabrics and Japanese society have had (and continue to have) on each other. The most important types of textiles are covered, along with the relevant terminology.The book also has many excellent photographs of everything from uchikake on display to vats of indigo dye. The color pictures not only help the reader get a better understanding of the topic at hand, but also realize the beauty of the fabrics and the hard work that goes into them. Good book. Recommended.

Very basic introduction to Japanese textiles,
By KimonoMomo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Textile Art of Japan (Paperback)
I keep this book on my shelf for when I need to find a quick reference to something in the field of kimono textiles. It's not an in-depth text, but the color photos are nice and it's not too thick so you can find the page you're looking for easily. It's a good start for someone just getting in to Japanese textiles, but if you've already got a library of books on the subject, you might give this one a miss.It's a good book for the hobbyist, but not much use for the serious textile collector. 5 of 7 people found the following review helpful
