Displayed on over 100 full-page color images are supreme examples of the kimono, representing the best from the world's private and museum collections. These kimonos were created during arguably its greatest artistic peak, in the period 1905 through 1950, when great Japanese aesthetic traditions were in dynamic conversation with avant-garde art from the West." --
