Japanese costume and textile arts / Seiroku Noma

This informative book, with 43 illustrations in full color and 149 in black and white, describes the development of Japanese textile art in relation to the social background of the times.

Examples of costume art and types of textiles, decorating techniques, and designs--all these are discussed here in a book of scholarly excellence and fascinating interest.
