Title: Heian, Kamakura, Muromachi no Senshoku , #23
Author:
Year Published: 1983
ISBN: None found, most likely due to being in Japanese
Language: Japanese, I saw nothing in english at all
Pages: 168
Period: Heian to Muromachi, as the title suggests
Subjects: There are some interesting clothing items in photos that I have never seen before all through this book. Most interesting are a few pages showing what I think to be monks making and blessing silk - which means it is most likely the construction and creation of sympathy silk.
My Thoughts: This book frustrated me, its a great resource but is written in Japanese. I see a lot of interesting full color and detailed photos of period garb, but I really dont know what they are! There is a stunning selection of heian attire that simply must be documented. Wen I return to this library I am getting photos of the garb in this book, I wager some of this stuff has never before been seen within the SCA.
When I return I am revisiting this book with my camera!
