Kimono and the Colors of Japan

Kimono Collection of Katsumi Yumioka


INTRODUCTION:

Since ancient times, the Japanese have been highly conscious of color, and have created delicate color expressions from the nature that changes with the four seasons. This book introduces the traditional Japanese colors and their names by showing antique kimono and kimono sash. Since these colors and names are based on the traditional kimono culture, we Japanese today are also amazed at the delicate and emotional expression.

The kimonos and sashes in this book are from Katsumi Yumioka's collection, from the end of the Edo period to the present day.
