Purchase options and add-ons
This is a reproduction of a silk sample book which contains the colours appropriate for kimono during the early 20th century in Japan. It is a sample book that would be used by kimono sellers to show the available range of colours in that period.
Because the colours sample are simply numbered to facilitate easy reference and ordering, which is done in Japanese, we have included a chart of how numbers were read in those days.
The MEIJI period shows a very different and more sober colours for most kimonos in comparison with the EDO period.
All this in A4 size to be able to enjoy the colours more.

About the author
Hello,
I have been a collector of Japanese things, including kimono, for many years now.
I created a series of books with the subject of kimono designs from the past based on original kimono design books.
These design books are known as HINAGATABON, which is a generic term for sample or pattern book for not only kimono but also for other subjects.
Because my main interest is kimono, I decided to make available some of these HINAGATABON that I have in my collection in a format that can be bought by everybody interested in Japanese design in general or just kimono, but also for people that love kimono and love colouring them.
The books are reformatted to A4 size, to show as much detail from the designs as possible and the designs have not been touched or changed, only enlarged and where possible cleaned without changing anything. This may result in imperfect images in some cases, but authentic ones, which is what matters to me most.
I mainly want to share these books so that everybody can enjoy them and have found rare books that are available to use from other sources, to complete a series about a period in Japan in which many of these books were produced.
The originals of these books are hard to find and if you can find them they are normally rather expensive because there are not that many that have survived the passing of time. My books make them available to everybody interested in these designs.
Enjoy!
