Five Centuries of Japanese Kimono por Michael Sittenfeld
The title is something of a misnomer, as all but one of the kimono in this book come from the mid- to late Edo period. Furthermore, "kimono" is used here as a catch-all term encompasing nuihaku, happi, chouken, and surihaku as well as traditional kimono. Finally, the majority of the book deals almost exclusively Noh theatrical costumes, as opposed to everyday clothing.
