Beautiful garments photographed in exquisite color and detail. It is a feast for the eyes even for those who aren't fascinated by fashion history. For us, it is breathtaking!

A beautiful book to look at, with some interesting analysis of what the Japanese designers were getting at when they burst upon the fashion world in the early 1980's.

This is quite possibly the best photo reference of historic costume that I have ever seen. The sheer number of originals displayed is nearly unbelievable. Like other amateur costume historians I've spent plenty of time squinting at those tiny pictures available on various websites or pouring over the tiny Kyoto Institute book that Taschen had put out previously. This set of books blows them all away.
