| Summary |
"The world's image of Japan invariably includes the wearing of beautiful kimono. The origins of kimono lie in the kosode garments that appeared in the Azuchi-Momoyama Period, whose straight seams and flat construction made them almost like single pieces of cloth. The kimono that developed from the kosode have retained this simplicity of style ever since. It's precisely because they were all cut in the smae style that the kimono developed into the opulently embellished garment we know today: a wearable canvas to be extravagantly covered with superb designs." -- NHK International's catalog. |
