The old bibliography seems to have been lost during the second conversion to the Proboards site, so I'd like to propose that we recreate it.
Please post your book recommendations and comments here!

Here's a few to start off:
Japanese Costume & Textile Arts
volume 16, Heibonsha
Beyond the Tanabata Bridge
Traditional Japanese Textiles
Wm Rathbun, editor
Thanes & Hudson / Seattle Art Museum
Japanese Costume
And the Makers of it's Elegant Tradition
Helen Benton Minnich
Tuttle (Weatherhill), 1963
Kimono: Fashioning Culture
Liza Dalby
Most of these are for those interested in the history of the kimono, and the textiles that have been used to make them.
