Anything you might want to know about Kimonos is right here, beautifully done, with much insight and historical accuracy . Shipping from this seller was sluggish considering that I ordered another book at the same time from a vendor in NYC and that book got to me in three business days when this one took more than a week and both were ordered same type of shipping. The book was like new, excellent condition better than described by vendor.
