Casual Kimono from Mid 20th-Century Japan

Katherine Kusler's collection of daily wear kimono from the 1920s to 1960s veers away from the high art of traditional Japanese kimono to showcase garments of a distinctly modern sensibility & style.
The bold motifs, bright colors, and sense of whimsy of these kimono capture the spirit & lingering influence of Japan's own Roaring Twenties


In addition to the kimono collection,
Sadao Watanabe(Japanese print maker)
prints will be on display

Thanks! I'll have to head out to see this one. The last show there, African art and artifacts, was amazing.
