ともわか (Illustrator) Editorial Review
The editorial review of the illustrated reference book reflects a positive reception among customers, primarily highlighting the stunning illustrations and their utility. The artwork, created by Tomoka-san, has been praised for its simplicity and elegance, making the book visually appealing. Many users found the abundance of illustrations a valuable resource for understanding the cultural context of various attire from different eras. Readers have noted that while the illustrations serve as an enjoyable visual reference, they might not always provide precise details. For those seeking intricate depictions, such as the specific tying methods of traditional garments like kimonos, they may need to Consult additional resources. Nevertheless, the book succeeds as a source of inspiration for artists and enthusiasts alike, allowing them to appreciate the aesthetic qualities of fashion through the ages. A few critiques mention missing entries, like the absence of mid-Showa period miniskirts and certain wartime clothing, which some found surprising given their historical significance. However, beyond these omissions, the book generally covers the latter half of the Showa period effectively, especially in regards to kimonos and the work of notable figures like Asai Kayo from the Taisho to early Showa periods. In conclusion, this illustrated reference book is a delightful visual journey through fashion history that appeals to those interested in art and cultural trends, though it may leave dedicated historians wanting for more detail. **
