5.0 out of 5 starsJudging books by their covers
By Amazon Customer on December 22, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
My only regret is that Nanao isn't releasing more mooks in the USA.

This book is a Japanese style magazine-book "mook" that has several translated articles from Japanese Nanao. The cover is very neutral and sedate looking -- there is *much* more variety and interest inside the book, so don't think that everything is going to be that cool, fresh, conservative color styling. Mind you, this isn't going to be the poppy variety of Mokona's Okimono Kimono; this will be more tips-and-styling-for-everyone. If you wear kimono frequently (or want to wear kimono more frequently), whether you are a relative beginner or experienced, there are things to get from this book.

If you've always been interested in kimono mooks, but have been frustrated by the language barrier, this is really going to be a treat for you. There is a how-to-wear-kimono section in the back of the book as there is in most kimono mooks, and I thought the details included in some of the steps were useful; some of these tips were new to me.

Definitely worth the purchase; I will be incorporating a lot of the styling tips into the way I dress in kimono.

Dear Nanao, more please!

5.0 out of 5 starsA Must Have for the Kimono Lover
By tdb on July 19, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book was a recommendation and to be honest I didn't have high expectations. Its a pic book on kimonos, right?Well, as the cliche goes, this book is awesome, and beyond. Great ideas, detailed info and explanations, shoes and accessories, tips on what and how to wear (a huge plus). I am glad to have it in my library and will read it ovr n ovr again.

4.0 out of 5 starsWonderful, although not what I expected.
By finnick on June 6, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I bought this book as someone who makes kimono and yukata as a hobby, and was expecting something more along the lines of just photos of different modern kimono and how to wear them. Instead, it has a variety of collected articles and interviews on kimono and women who choose to wear them daily (or at least far more frequently than the average Japanese). Not that this is a bad thing - I found all of it very interesting.

The photos and styling in this are fantastic, though, and there's plenty of inspiration to be drawn from that! It's a great book for an overview of modern kimono.

5.0 out of 5 starsLovely book
By kamikrolock on July 18, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is a must have for any kimono enthusiast. This is not a beginners guide to wearing kimono, there are plenty of those. Instead this book shows off the beauty of everyday kimono as worn by the modern kimono wearing woman. The photos are beautiful and the tips found in this book on creating kimono ensembles are wonderful. I am particularly in love with the idea of wearing a turtle neck and boots with a wool kimono. As this book is a collection of articles from Nanao magazine, Id love to see them publish a second volume!

4.0 out of 5 starsMakes me want to wear kimono/yukata
By David Mcbride on December 3, 2011
Format: Paperback
The colors and textures featured in the photos of this book are just great. If there's any complaint I have about this collection is that a) it's too short and b) the cover, while interesting, doesn't do justice to what's inside. There are several shots deeper in the book that just jump out in terms of their texture and cultural uniqueness.

5.0 out of 5 starsA great coordination book
By CPchixor on April 20, 2012
Format: Paperback
A New Kimono is not intended to be a dressing guide- there are a few pictures at the end that show you how to put on a yukata, but that is not its purpose. Instead it is a wonderful way to feel inspired to wear kimono and yukata. If there is somebody you know who is already interested in kimono or has worn a yukata before, this book is for them. The only other English language book that fills this same niche would Mokona's Okimono Kimono, but with its larger dimensions and more elegant coordinates, A New Kimono will appeal to more mature readers. Even my friend who has little interest in kitsuke enjoyed reading the essays and looking at the glossy photos. If none of this sounds appealing then this is not the book for you. But if you already own a copy of The Book of Kimono, I guarantee you'll enjoy this too.
