Rating : - Best book on late 1500's Japanese clothing.
This book is currently the best on the subject of Tsujigahana, the preferred style of textile decoration for samurai in late feudal period Japan. Tsujigahana is primarily a stitched tie-dye process enhanced with painting or embriodery. The plates are well photographed, and cover a range of subject matter. It also contains measurements of many of the garments considered in the text
