### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Dalby's outstanding appreciation of the Japanese kimono
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2019*

In 1983, with the publication of a book on the history of the geisha, Liza Dalby, a Ph.D.-trained anthropologist, established herself as America's leading expert on the material culture of Japan, a distinction she still enjoys.Her book "Kimono: Fashioning Culture,"  issued ten years later, focuses on kimono of the 17th to the 20th centuries.  Per her introductory remarks, Dalby was less interested in detailing the evolution of clothing over the full history of Japan than in shedding light on key fundamentals of Japanese material culture."Kimono: Fashioning Culture" runs nearly 400 pages and has three major parts. The first, "Clothing and Culture," lays out Dalby's approach to her subject matter, addresses the structure and functions of the kimono, and examines the kimono in the Meiji period (1868-1912) during which Japan was exposed to western influences.  Part Two, titled "Kimono in the Modern World," deals with the impact of westernization as indicated by Chapter 4: "Women Who Cross Their Legs."  In Part three is more of a grab bag, exploring color preferences of the Heian period (894-1185) court culture,  Moronobu's Fashion Magazine , and geisha and kimono.  Not included in the book are photographs of exquisite kimono, but these are available in many other books.  In this instance, on the other hand, we benefit from Dalby's unique ability to read the unspoken meaning of Japan's iconic cultural phenomena, and I was not surprised therefore to see a leading semiotician--Roland Barthes--cited in her bibliography.

I bought this for my granddaughter. She is interested in Japanese, the culture, fashion, and language. She is learning Japanese. She voiced an interest in finding more information on Kimonos.
