Garments of the Japanese during Edo period are among those featured in the Highlights of Japanese Art Exhibit at the Tokyo National Museum.
These garments were once worn by men and women alike. Kosode (小袖), or those that were characterized with narrow cuffs or small sleeve openings, gained popularity at around late 16th and early 17th century. Different techniques paved the way for more decorative pieces during mid-Edo period.
