Exhibition Label: Many decisions went into the commissioning of a new kimono. Fabrics and colors had to be chosen, generally based on the season and the age of the wearer. The selection of the overall motif was key to establishing the aesthetic statement the wearer wished to express. Kimono makers made available to their clients catalogs of themes offered by various workshops, as are represented in these two volumes.
