Robes of Elegance: Japanese Kimonos of the Sixteenth Through Twentieth Centuries

From the dust cover:
When the Kyoto art dealer Nomura Shojiro (1879-1943) began colleciton kosode...it is doubtful that he realized the tremendous impact his collection would have on the world one day. Today, the Nomura Collection, which inlcudes 156 kosode and 100 screens on which are mounted fragments of these grand robes, is regarded by many as the most comprehensive and stunning collection of Japanese textiles ever compiled....
