HISTORY OF KIMONO

RM 2504 AB

Saturday October 21, 2023 - 3:00 pm to 4:20 pm


This isn’t your typical Professor Binns-style history class! Join Tangerine Mountain as we take you through a fun, funny, and informative romp through Japanese fashion history. You will learn the reason so many anime characters are dressed the way they are, because so many character designs and costumes in anime are based on historical clothing. From kosode to kimono, we tell you the stories of nobles, samurai, kabuki actors, and merchants; and how the underdogs of the Japanese class structure eventually became the most well-dressed members of society by the end of the Edo period.
