An Introduction to Kimono Styles of Japan‘s Taisho Period (1912-26)

Dr Carolin Becke and Sonoe Sugawara from Furuki Yo-Kimono Vintage introduce kimono styles of Japan's Taisho period (1912-26). This turbulent era gave birth to some eclectic kimono styles which were based on a new approach towards Japanese and Western modes of dress. In this video, we demonstrate and discuss the combination worn by male students (書生; shosei) and also introduce the Taisho Roman (大正ロマン) style favoured by female students. https://carolinbecke.com/2023/04/30/yokimo... 0:00 Japan's Taisho Period (1912-26) 3:00 Young Men's Shosei Style 13:50 Young Women's Taisho Roman Style
