| Description: |
This work contains a selection of the numerous encounters Paul van Riel had with people wearing kimono all over Japan. Although the popularity of the kimono has dwindled over the last 25 years, the national garment of Japan is still deeply rooted in Japanese culture, as the photographs testify. |
| Synopsis: |
Any first time visitor to Japan will be struck by that most beautiful symbol of its ancient culture: the kimono. This book contains a selection of the numerous encounters photographer Paul van Riel had with people wearing kimono all over Japan. In the introduction Liza Dalby describes the kimono's transformation from daily clothing to formal wear over the course of the 20th century. Her personal experiences give us a glimpse of the meanings the kimono has for the geisha. |
