5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, a wonderfully clear book with excellent pictures., 22 Sep 1999

By A Customer

I was very impressed with the pictures and descriptions in this book. I wanted it for research into the folding and tying associated with Japanese dress and it hit the nail on the head! It will be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about Japanese clothing. The photographs and illustrations are beautifully clear. I'm glad I bought it.
