Exhibition - Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk / Curator Tour (3 of 5)

[@amaranthineZ]

I can't thank you enough for making such great VDOs. This is like a gift as an eye-opener for those who don't have a chance see it. I'm so grateful for all of this. The curator is great and I enjoy it a lot like I am actually there and follow you. I love your dress too :)

Wow! that blue foreigner kimono looks great!

This was a delightful tour. Thank you to the Curator, government and philanthropic patrons, and thank you to the V&A.

What a beautifully curated exhibition. What a shame that we can't see it in person at the moment. It's great to have these informative and colourful videos though.

This exhibition is wonderful! We wouldn't have a chance to see many of the European enjoyments of kimono here in Japan, and it does confirm that the "pesky merchants making money off of other people's efforts" didn't miss a chance to keep other people's efforts on the forefront of world markets whenever possible, thus keeping the skills and sensitivities alive and vibrant over the centuries until today (I've peeked at tour 5 of 5).

Fabulous Exhibition Taster.

Wonderful exhibition

[@ShonaMcCarthy]

It's so interesting to be watching this as a video, because I've been reading "Kimono: A Modern History " by Terry Satsuki Milhaupt and it says a lot of what these videos say, only now I get to see the garments I've been reading about!

[@aricavela935]

Sooooo beautiful.

[@leilamessark3449]

So disappointed that I'm watching the curator rather than the collection. The Curator is so informative and is wearing a beautiful kimono, but I want to see the textiles and the craftsmanship. Please more close ups for the next series! :)

Lovely collection and a very knowledgeable tour. But what a missed opportunity to do close-ups of the content that is being described; it's a poorly produced video if the curator tells us to look at the fine embroidery work and the following shot is a zoomed out view of the entire room.

[@scotchsato]

love this!

A great tour series of Alber Museum, also a lot of good references for exhibition design. Expect more content released.

I didn't know that the kimonos remade as western dresses.

[@Azoaris]

Why didn't you show the black kimono of the past part? It was gorgeous :c

[@pollywanda]

Like a garment made of opal.

[@rungolion]

Anybody know that font they're using? It's amazing!

[@barryhossin2000]

Interesting

[@illusion1188]

That'sskeletonKimono creeping me out

[@shoshana-xs4cm]

Oh, interesting, an ancient Japanese Dalek....

[@E-Kat]

I wonder if men were frown upon for wearing these westernised clothes?

[@kachi2782]

My oh my how the story changes when crossing the world. Here in Japan we KNOW that thos Kimono weren&t sold to enthusiasts europeans during the edo period but stolen by enthusiasts europeans without the consent of the impoverished and powerless Samurai class. But apparently they were sold of course ! How convenient for a museum to expose pieces that were sold and therefore bought rather than stolen. I guess the things from the chinese winter palace were also sold to brits !

[@surabhisingh341]

it's true they don't talk about the controversial stuff or rather they like to present it in twisted words. same with what the Brits did to other countries.
