The way people dressed in those days, as depicted in ukiyoe of the Edo period, is updated with modern illustrations. This is a practical collection of illustrations that answers the question, “I want to draw Edo period kimonos, but it’s too difficult to do so…”
Illustrations of beautiful men and women of various social statuses are included, from town girls, young samurai princes and princesses, feudal lords and courtesans, geisha and actors, prostitutes and courtesans.
The book also includes detailed information useful for drawing, such as obi knots, kimono patterns, and types of Japanese hair that are unfamiliar today.
The title and artist of the original ukiyoe are also listed, so you can make new discoveries by comparing them.
The period in which the work was painted gives an idea of the approximate changes in Edo fashion.
Please enjoy the richness of Edo’s clothing culture as traced through Ukiyo-e.

Joseph K. –
For anyone who is interested in traditional Japanese clothing from this period this is a very good book, it has clear illustrations with a great attention to detail and colour. The book has a large number of drawings depicting everything from clothing, shoes, prints on fabric, hair pins and diagrams of how certain garments looked when they are not being worn gives a good understanding of the construction of these garments. The artist is very good at making the layers of these garments visible and clear to understand. For someone like me who is a costume designer, books like this are very important and this has to be one of the best i have seen on this subject. I am looking foraward to buying more books from this artist in the future. The postage service was fast and the item arrived in pefect condition.
