Chirimen Henge (Chirimen Transformations) explores the 300-year history and enduring beauty of traditional Japanese chirimen crêpe silk. Authored by an antique textile gallery owner, this visually rich volume examines the fabric’s evolution from an elite import during the Momoyama period to a cornerstone of Edo-period kimono fashion alongside Yuzen dyeing. Focusing on color, pattern design, and technique, it serves as an indispensable reference for antique textile collectors, kimono enthusiasts, and lovers of Japanese craft history.
