\nIn my blog,  Modern
\nKimonos ( November, 9, 2014), I reported on an exhibition at LACMA (Los Angeles
\nCounty Museum of Art) which featured over 30 modern kimonos from their
\ncollection.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnother famous institution, The Metropolitan Museum of Art
\nin New York City is showing an exhibition (through January 19, 2015) of their
\ncollection of Japanese kimonos beginning with the Edo Period , 1615-1898.  Not only featured are glorious, beautifully
\nembroidered garments but also garments such as firefighters\u2019 coats, which might
\nbe considered rural textiles.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSo-called \u201ccountry textiles\u201d differ from those created in
\nthe urban weaving centers.  While many
\nhave similarities with those silk, embroidered garments, there are significant
\ndifferences in style, fiber content and patterning techniques.<\/span><\/div>\n
