【DESCRIPTION】

The preface says,"Of particular note among the nearly one thousand items in the collection are a groupe of one hundred screens called "Kosode Byoubu" which were modeled after a type of early modern "fuzoku byoubu(screens of manners and customd)"known as tagasode byoubu.The screen depicts images of Kosode draped over clothes racks.But unlike Tagasode Byoubu,Kosode Byoubu actually incorporate portions of real Kosode collaged to the surface which are arranged to suggest the full effect of garment.Each screens consists of two panels,both of which are decorated with Kosode in such styles as Tsujigahana,nuihaku,Kanbun Kosode,Genroku Kosode,and Yuzenzome among others.The works focus on important examples of textile design from the Momoyama to the mid edo period"
About Kosode:Literally, small sleeves. A modern generic name for all full-length garments made before the Meiji period. Originally a lower-class outer garment and an upper-class undergarment, beginning in the 16c it became the principal outer robe, evolving into the modern kimono 着物. The name refers to the small size of the wrist openings which distinguish it from the oosode 大袖 (large sleeves). Kosode designs for the court and samurai 侍 classes in the Edo period were often based on literary themes taken from famous Japanese and Chinese poems. Kosode are made with two main pieces joined at the back center so they hang from the shoulders to the ground in both the front and back.
