Title: Illustrated Catalogs of Toyko National Museum – Kosode Dress
Year Published: 1983 (?)
ISBN: None found (Possibly due to the isbn being written in Japanese, which I cant read)
Language: Half Japanese, Half English – great mix of the two with easy to understand and follow info.
Pages: 141
Periods: Mostly Momoyama into Late Edo
Subjects: Kosode and Kimono
My thoughts: The only draw back to this book is the lack of color and that most of the examples are from the 18th and 19th centuries. There are examples from the 16th century, but not many. All the same, the book has many beautiful kosode and kimono. I find the particular value of this book to be in the short and simple introduction that gives a brief history of the kosode.
