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

Hours: Tue, Th, Fri 10-5
Wed 10-8:30
Sat, Sun 12-5
