  • Kimono Dave Lowry
    1 Some Thoughts on Kimono Dave Lowry The classic woman’s kimono of Japan, rich, lustrous brocade, sumptuously hued, was not meant to be appreciated, as Junichiro Tanizaki points out in his long essay, In Praise of Shadows, under the Pg. 1 direct and flat illumination of modern light. Instead, he suggests, the kimono achieves its real beauty admired, as it was historically, by the flicker and bedimmed glow of candle or lantern, within the confines, largely, of a traditional Japanese home. Pg. 4 A woman’s kimono viewed under museum glass or in broad daylight is florid, grandiose. Worn in the mellowed and shadowy lucence of a paper-screened, lattice-windowed Japanese room and its beauty becomes layered, textured, nuanced. An object of marvel. Tanizaki could be overwrought in his gushing admiration for pre- modern Japan and its aesthetics. He has a point, however. All too often, Pg. 6 enthusiasts of Japanese culture assume they can pluck some element of that culture from its native environs and indulge or display it, without attention to the context in which it developed. The kimono is a product of that culture. An awareness of, an appreciation for the wider facets of Japan are useful, maybe even necessary to really comprehend its true Pg. 8 Pg. 1 23 value. Kimono, in cultural isolation, are objects of cowboy walk lavishness, fashion hyperbole. Placed in context, would have they take on an entirely different meaning, one with had him, in remarkable resonances. kimono, flat I wore a kimono the first time when I was on his face.

  • Study on the Clothing Pressure Developed by Yukata in Special
    J. Home Econ. Jpn. Vol. 49 No. 3 255-267 ( 1998) Study on the Clothing Pressure Developed by Yukata In Special Reference to Deformation of Dressing and Sensory Evaluation Tamaki MITSUNO and Kazuo UEDA* Graduate School of Home Economics, Kyoritsu Women's University, Hachioji 193-8501, Japan * Faculty of Home Economics, Kyoritsu Women's University, Hachioji 193-8501, Japan In this paper, yukata-pressure at rest-standing, degree of slippage (the amount of kikuzure (deformation of dressing)) caused by bowing, its sensory evaluation, and body proportions were investigated using the SPEARMAN ranking correlation. Subjects were 5 women aged 20 to 30 years old. Yukata-pressures measured by a hydrostatic pressure-balanced method were changed by many factors, such as respiratory movements, body movements, and so on. The yukata-pressures were generated mainly at the abdomen. The highest pressures were recorded on the horizontal plane between the yukata and the koshi-himo (cord around the hip) under the obi at rest-standing (10.7+9.7 mmHg (14.6 ±13.2gf/cm2)) and seiza-sitting (18.9 + 10.8 mmHg (25.7+ 14.7 gf/cm2)). It was found that the greater the difference between bust girth and below bust girth, the greater the slippage on the chest. The degree of slippage on the right side line correlated with the extent of tightening of the koshi-himo, and it was determined that pressure should not exceed 20 mmHg (27 gf/cm2). Moreover, as the slippage on the chest increased, the intensity of the pressure sensation decreased. (Received April 24, 1997; Accepted in revised form December 4, 1997) Keywords: clothing pressure, yukata, sensory test, comfortability, figure, deformation of dressing.

  • Teg Past Events 2012-2018
    TEG PAST EVENTS 2012-2018 THREADS OF A NEW TRADITION Date: Friday 20 April 2018 Speaker: Percy Vatsaloo Venue: Isan Gallery, 42 Jalan Kembagan Percy Vatsaloo, textile designer and founder of Isan Gallery, started visiting the Isan region of NE Thailand in 1987. He soon discovered handwoven textiles and other local crafts that were rapidly dying out. By the mid-90’s, Percy realized that the antique Laotian textiles that he loved so much were becoming both scarce and terribly expensive. He decided to create textiles with his own designs and set up a small weaving team in the village of Ban Borang. Inspired by traditional weaving techniques such as ikat, brocade and tapestry weaves, he designs wearable art fashioned entirely in silk. The Weaving Village is a socially-responsible project that gives women in the countryside a fair income without leaving their village. Percy will also give a brief introduction to antique Laotian and Cambodian textiles and share how they have influenced The Weaving Project. Some pieces from Percy’s private collection will be on display. SHARED PASSION Date: Friday 23 March 2018 Host: Janet Stride TEG members always look forward to Shared Passion month. This annual show-and-tell event is a wonderful opportunity to share and learn from fellow members. Bring one of your favourite textiles to share with the group -- a piece that is either something you wear or keep as a collector's item. It would be helpful if you know the weaving technique and provenance of your selected piece but if even if you don't, you may have the opportunity to draw upon the knowledge of other members.
