This lavishly illustrated volume presents highlights from the Victoria and Albert Museum’s extensive collection of Japanese textiles and dress, which is one of the finest in the West. Ranging from highly decorative, embroidered kimono and woven actors’ robes to the indigo-dyed textiles of rural Japan, this book explores the various techniques employed by Japanese textile artists since the 17th-century in the production of woven, printed and embroidered textiles.
The richness, variety and detail of the designs are displayed through specially commissioned photographs, which show garments, bedcovers, door curtains, decorative hangings, fabric lengths and samples.
Offering a wealth of inspiration to contemporary designers, this beautiful book provides a fascinating introduction to a vibrant cultural tradition, and will appeal to anyone interested in textiles or Japanese art and design.
