Kimono: Short Sleeves and Flowers / The World of Design

Joshibi University of Art and Design - Joshibi Art Museum
Finished
Joshibi's first exhibition of 2006 is showing short-sleeved Kimono made in recent years. The short-sleeve design is the basis for the kimono today, a design that was perfected from the end of the Muromachi period to the Momoyama period. Following that, various textile dyeing techniques were used during the Edo period and within the limitations of the short-sleeve design, the world of design developed in various remarkable ways.
Taken from the collection of textile works entrusted to the Joshibi University of Art and Design, this exhibition is showing 41 short-sleeved kimono and 6 pieces of material in 7 themes. Focussing on recent short-sleeve designs and techniques of expression, it looks at the basic pattern of flowers, embroidery, dyeing techniques, changes in design and the aesthetic awareness people have of them.
