Folio (21.7 x 33.1 cm). Leporello folded. Complete in two volumes. Three pages of preliminaries, thirty-two double-page coloured woodcut plates and one colophon page. Three double-page calligraphy plates are missing from the first volume (?). Original decorated boards, title labels on upper covers, rubbed, rear covers stained. First edition. A wonderful large-scale work with stunning plates of short-sleeved kimonos artistically arranged in a spectacular way. Shimomura Tamahiro has created new patterns based on typical popular designs from the Genroku period (1688-1704) mixed with new ideas from the Meiji period. The first volume features kimonos hanging on ropes between trees (kosodemaku), a custom of the Genroku period. The second volume presents kimonos placed in indoor settings, mostly thrown over racks. The beautiful woodcuts are of very high quality and printed in bright, intense colours. Some are highlighted with metallic inks. Tamahiro Shimomura (1878-1926) was a talented graphic artist from Kyoto who founded the Kyoto Design Association. Some browning, sometimes a little spotting, a few plates with light creases but overall a very good copy. N� de ref. del art�culo 121471
