5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable resource for kimono research, May 12, 2008
By 
KimonoMomo (San Francisco, California, USA) - See all my reviews
I checked this out from the library and after I'd read two pages I knew I needed a copy for myself. I am very pleased to add this book to my own personal library, as it is full of well-researched information about kimono and the evolution of kimono fashion in Japanese history.

A multitude of full color plates, pages of useful footnotes and references and even sturdy paper (in both paperback and hardback editions) make this a worthy coffee table book as much as a useful resource that I will read again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for kimono addicts!, March 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

If you are interested in kimono: art, culture, and history ...THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU! This book is a gem of a resource for beginner and advanced readers alike. The book has many colorful historical kimono documented in photos, an outstanding and detailed glossary of terms, ample history, ample art, and more! I wish I had this book sooner as it is now the single most important book in my collection!
