JAPANESE FASHIONS

INTRODUCTION

The fashions in this book illustrate traditional Japanese

clothing styles between 1338 and 1912. Arranged here

according to Japan's historical and political eras, the

clothing reflects the subtle modifications the Japanese

made to their ancient garb (short of adopting Western

dress) which enabled them to function in the global

community at the beginning of the 20th century.

When the power of Japan's ancient imperial court

flagged in the middle of the 9th century, the shogun, a

line of military governors, assumed civil power. In 1338,

Ashikaga Takauji seized control of the government,

founding a dynasty that lasted 250 years. The Ashikaga

family was overthrown in 1573.

By 1600, the Tokugawa family had established a new

bakufu, or military government. This family, which

maintained strict feudal controls, is remembered for the

dramatic cultural and economic changes that took place

in Japan under its rule.

The delicate balance of power held by the Tokugawa

family was upset by the introduction of Western technol-

ogy into Japan, resulting in the resignation of the shogun

in 1867. Taking political control, the Meiji Restoration

reinstated Imperial rule, which transformed the country

into a modern state. While Japan was defeated in World

War II (1945), it has emerged from the ashes as one of

the most important economic powers in the world.
