The book focuses on 150 Japanese garments dating from the late 19th to the early 20th centuries and belonging to the renowned Montgomery Collection (comprising over 1000 mingei folk-art objects). This outstanding collection includes informal women's and men's kimonos, haori jackets, under-garments, and ceremonial/formal garments, as well as children's robes. While the surface designs on many of the garments reflect historical continuity, many more evince a radical break from tradition.Western art themes and designs -rather than historical Japanese references- predominate, reflecting the modernisation of Japan at this time.
