<br/><br/> 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 backround of the times.  The text deals principally with two artistically outstanding forerunners of the modern kimone, the kosode and the costumes of the Noh theater.  Not only examples of costume art but also types of textiles, decorating techniques, and designs, all these are discussed here in a book of scholarly excellence and fascinating interest.
