Sartorial Japonisme and the Experience of Kimonos in Britain, 1865-1914

Arisa Yamaguchi,

About this book

Using interdisciplinary research and critical analysis, this book examines experiences through (or with) kimonos in Britain during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods.

Bringing new perspectives to challenge the existing model of 'Japonisme in fashion' and introducing overlooked contacts between kimonos and people, this book explores not only fine arts and department stores but also a variety of theatres and cheap postcards. Putting a particular focus on the responses and reactions elicited by kimonos in visual, textual and material forms, this book initiates an entirely new discussion on the British adoption of Japanese kimonos beyond the monolithic view of the relationship between the East and West.

This book will be of interest to scholars working in fashion studies, British studies, Japanese studies, design history and art history.
