Title: Kosode: 16th-19th Century Textiles from the Nomura Collection
ISBN: 0-87011-429-8
Year Published: 1984 (?)
Language: English
Pages: 234
Periods: This book touches down on it all – it even has a section dedicated to color ranks in fashion from the Kamakura up into Late Edo! There is an entire selection dedicated to the history of the kosode dating from its creation in Heian up to Momoyama.
Subjects: Here are a few titles of various insightful sections of this book: “Color Names and Their Literary Associations”, “Chinese Influence”, “Early Kosode Design: Late Muromachi and Early Momoyama”, “Tsujigahana Designs”, “Kanoko Shibori”, “Measurements and Cutting Layouts”, “From Dye Plants to Dyed Fabrics”, and many more.
My thoughts: I must own this book. This book will become the new cornerstone book for my private library and collection about kosode. This book includes ‘how-to’, info on personalizing measurements, details about historical dying, and more. The catalog of kosode is rich with many styles displayed that are certain to inspire. More so, I like that this book clearly defines which techniques and styles for decoration are used in the different periods. Kosode in the Momoyama were decorated with techniques different from Edo and so on.
