Japanese costumes, and the textiles of which they are made, represent an important aspect of the traditional arts of Japan. This book examines the innovations in design and technique that produced the splendid robes and costumes during a four-hundred year period (from the 16th through the 19th centuries) considered as the golden age of Japanese costume. Each style and type of costume is presented in the light of the political and social changes that took place during this period. Separate chapters are devoted to different sectors of society - samurai, townspeople, actors and Buddhist clerics - and the clothing worn by each. The T-shape format of the costume offers a broad, flat straight-edged expanse which is virtually transformed into a canvas by Japanese textile artists. Numerous examples, lavishly reproduced in color, demonstrate this painterly approach to costume design. The superb photographs are accompanied by descriptions of the patterns and the way the costumes were made, the design elements and their origins, and the meaning and uses of motifs. Complete with glossary, bibliography and index, this volume is an invaluable work of reference for collectors, designers, and everyone who is interested int he history of textiles and fashion. With 156 illustrations, 110 in color.

Many people have old furniture languishing in attics or spare rooms - pieces acquired long ago or handed down through the family. This guide shows how to identify such furniture by a process of elimination, starting with the most recent designs, dating from the early-20th century, and proceeding back chronologically to about 1650. The author explores the principal styles of each period and discusses construction, materials, brasswork and decorative motifs, to help pinpoint the exact date of a piece.
