Across Asia, traditional costumes include garments that share certain formal similarities with the Japanese kimono. At the same time, their details differ subtly according to country, region, and ethnic group. These differences can be seen in their silhouettes, materials, ornamentation, and accessories, each of which reflects the cultural characteristics of the people who made and wore them. By viewing and comparing these garments in person, we hope visitors will gain a deeper appreciation of Asia as a region and of the rich diversity of cultures among its neighboring countries.
We look forward to welcoming you to the museum.
