20's KIMONO INCL CDROM
Published: 2006
In the Meiji era (1868-1912), Meiji kimono patterns tended to be small and quiet, and the colors used were extremely sober . While vast waves of cultural influences of many sorts were pouring in from abroad in Meiji, and women' s attitudes were changing, only those at the upper reaches of society could experience and enjoy the results . The cultural changes that had been launched in Meiji began to reach the common people only in the Taisho era. When they did, the people accepted a fusion of their own and foreign cultures with a fierce intensity. Their positive reception of the new was promptly reflected in the kimono that clothed their daily lives.
