Reviews
" Kimono: A Modern History is a well-researched and engaging analysis of the multifaceted history of the kimono. Terry Satsuki Milhaupt's examination of the local and global elements of the kimono and its enduring legacy into the twenty-first century is an important addition to the literature on Japanese art and design." , This completely fascinating social history of a single type of garment over three centuries is also the story of a culture in the process of transformation. . . . [The book] is a beauty., The kimono has long been a symbol of Asian femininity and Japan's national identity. In the profusely illustrated Kimono: A Modern History (Reaktion), Terry Satsuki Milhaupt, one of the world's leading experts in Japanese textiles, offers insights into the culture of modern Japan as well as the evolving status of women. . . . Is the kimono art? Is it fashion? It's both, and much more., Kimono: A Modern History persuasively challenges the myth of the kimono as a traditional, static garment through a nuanced history of its fashion system from the seventeenth century to present time and sets the scene well for an in-depth look at global kimono fashion from the 1960s to present day., Kimono stands apart as being thoroughly researched, extensively illustrated, and packed with facts about the history of the kimono never before made available to the English reader. It is the new standard-bearer for books on kimono history, and will likely remain so for some time to come., The gorgeous, vividly colored, and visually witty designs of the traditional Japanese garment referred to in modern times as kimono, things to wear,' are the subject of this groundbreaking study. Through her insightful analysis of textile design, fabrics, dyes, designers, workshops, and distribution systems, the late Terry Satsuki Milhaupt has offered insights into the complex cultural and social history of modern Japan, with an emphasis on the shaping of national identity through the encounter with the West. Contextualizing the history of kimono in an era of rapid industrialization, this profusely illustrated volume also charts the evolving status and roles of women in Japanese society.
