- This Japanese sample manuscript draper’s catalogue was executed during the Taisho period (1912-1926) as a showroom book for obis and kimonos, some with Art Deco influence. Obis and Kimonos became much more elaborate and decorative in the early 20th century at the end of the Meiji-era, and this carried through into the Taisho-era, with many similar elements. This opens with embroidered samples in white and gold coloured embroidered threads on rich blue, gold, and olive-coloured silks, as well as jewel tone silks, light olive and blue colours, many striped silk samples, embroidered borders, light weight silks in browns, blues, purples, and aqua colours. -- from vendor's information.
