Shikosha JPN: Kinsei no Shima Koushi

About this product

While stripes are a timeless fashion pattern today, they were once deeply misunderstood and even disliked. This compelling exploration traces the shima (stripe) pattern from its enigmatic origins in the Muromachi period through its celebrated emergence as a kimono staple during the late Edo era. Uncover the cultural shifts and societal transformations that transformed a once-misunderstood textile design into an enduring symbol of Japanese style and sophistication.
