This exhibition features a 2008 gift from the June Tsukamoto-Lyon collection, which provided breadth and further quality to Pacific Asia Museum's already substantial collection. Kimono in the exhibition run from the most formal reserved for very special occasions to children's clothing, undergarments and light summer wear. Fabric patterns in the kimono range from deep black with reserve details in white, to Op-art that dazzles the eyes, with each garment giving a strong sense of the wearer's taste, the modes of contemporary fashion, or requirements of the season in which the kimono was worn. 

This exhibition will be on view through March 10, 2013 and will rotate halfway through, giving visitors the chance to see a new set of kimono and accessories in the fall. See below for just a few of the great programs we'll offer related to this exhibition.
