Top Recommended Book
Norio Yamanaka's book "The Book of Kimono" describes that whether for women or men, all kimono are cut and sewn essentially from a single pattern, but a number of variations must be considered, depending on the occasion. Guidelines are given in her book for making these choices, from the preliminaries to tying the bustle sash, and are described in detail and fully illustrated. Children's kimono for festive events are also described.
