Within this kimono gallery we have arranged hundreds of select vintage and antique kimonos into four general price categories that correspond to arbitrary nameplates: chic, tres chic, couture and haute couture. Many of these kimonos were created during the early 20th century: a special time in Japan when a rapid growth of wealth and confidence - in combination with one of the world's great textile traditions - resulted in garments that are arguably the world's most impressive couture of the past century. We have selected for the gallery what we feel are the best kimonos in terms of superior artistry and condition. The Japanese rightly considered kimonos to be works of art, often using them to hang over screens and decorate their rooms. Collectors and wearers worldwide agree.
