Retro Modern Japanese Girl Character Design Book (Super Drawable Series)

In this book, the characters are designed by combining fashion from the Meiji and Taisho eras to the present, based on the traditional Japanese culture of “kimono”.

In addition to introducing the basics such as types of kimono, items, design patterns, and how to arrange kimono, more than 80 types of kimono girl characters are recorded with the themes of “flowers”, “fairy tales”, “fantasy” and “food”. It is a book that can be used as a reference material for costumes and accessories, and as an illustration collection to enjoy the character’s world view and settings.
