Japanese Costume and Textile Arts by Seiroku Noma. (This is v.16 of the Heibonsha Survey of Japanese Art). Weatherhill, 1974 This book focuses mainly on the history of the kimono, including Noh and Kabuki. There are also sections on textiles and designs motifs 2. Tagasode: Whose Sleeves....: Kimono from the Kanebo Collection by Nishimura Hyobu et.al. Japan Society, 1976 My mother got me this catalog ever so long ago and I have always treasured it. I have never seen such a lovely collection of kimono. 3. The Kimono Inspiration: Art and Art-to-Wear in America (ed.) Rebecca A. T. Stevens. The Textile Museum, 1996 I found this second hand. Its fun to look at all the funky modern interpertations of the kimono and there is a section in the back on the history of the kimono 4. Making Kimono and Japanese Clothes by Jenni Dobson. Batsford, 2004 The Marshall book and this one have about the same information, but one difference is that Dobson includes a Child's Chan-Chanko. I always say you can never have too many books about kimono. Here are several other (older) English Language books that you might be able to find in the library.

This is great information. I’m trying to find a source for Japanese books/magazines, printed in Japanese in the 1980’s - 90’s, containing many drawings of clothing patterns. They contained aprons, field clothing, patterns by Issey Miyake and others. Do you have any ideas where I might look? Thanks, Linda Anna,
