Japanese Kimono Research

A compilation of research on traditional Japanese kimonos, showcasing various cultural motifs and designs. The copywriting condensed historical information into eye-catching images alongside product photos. A vintage store used this piece to promote their summer collection.
Caption: These beautifully handmade robes have a rich history in their patterns and seams. Fun fact, it was the Dutch whose merchants were the only ones allowed to trade with Japan during the Edo period and who brought the first kimonos to Europe. A reminder if you pick any up at the store, these should be honoured when worn, i.e. not as a Halloween costume. Appreciate the culture, don’t appropriate it.
