2	Survival or success? : the kimono retail industry in contemporary Japan Valk, Julie January 2018 (has links) This thesis explores the ways in which the kimono retail industry in contemporary Japanese society is changing in response to the economic crisis of the 1990s and the declining popularity of the kimono as formal wear, leading to falling demand and sales. A central aim of this thesis is to address the lack of academic literature focused on the kimono, particularly economic aspects of the kimono such as the way it is made, sold and consumed. Based on twelve months of ethnographic fieldwork in Aichi prefecture, Kyoto, Tokyo and Yamagata with kimono shop owners, wholesalers, craftspeople, writers, bloggers, designers, government officials and consumers, this thesis explores how a small but influential group that I call the 'kimono fashion network' are aiming to change the industry from within by marketing the kimono as fashion and framing the kimono as a lifestyle choice. Their efforts have led to a monumental shift in manufacturing, marketing and selling strategies that have effectively aligned the kimono with global discourses about fashion. This shift has split the kimono retail industry into two camps: those who sell kimono as ceremonial wear for key ritual occasions such as weddings, funerals, tea ceremonies, coming of age ceremonies, graduation and school entrance ceremonies, and those who sell it for fashion. I begin by examining the socio-economic factors that led to falling demand and therefore falling sales in the industry, before exploring how the industry is structured in terms of production and distribution. Finally, I explore how and why the kimono fashion network have gone about changing the industry from within. Adding a different perspective to prevailing understandings of traditional culture in Japan as a vehicle for cultural nationalism, I argue that the contemporary kimono fashion movement has many similiarities with the global phenomenon of lifestyle consumer culture to be found across industrialised nations.
3	Sartorial motifs of utamakura : a dictionary of Japanese kimono pattern depictions of poetical places Jer, Kornelia January 2024 (has links) This thesis examines the kimono motifs based on Japanese place names that evolved into poetical landscape terms called utamakura. In this study, three of the utamakura kimonomotifs were analysed to create dictionary entries for an English-speaking user. The investigated terms were Musashino, Yoshinoyama and Tatsutagawa. To create the dictionary entries, Japanese kimono motif dictionaries were used with further analysis of each of the utamakura. This has been done by inspecting early examples of those terms in Japanese poetry, art and historical kimono. Based on the information gathered, with the use of lexicographical functions, each entry was crafted to best suit the potential user of an English language kimono dictionary. This research is an attempt to create a building block for further research on kimono motifs within the sartorial studies as currently there is very little research done within this field in the English language sphere. kimono motifs sartorial studies utamakura Specific Languages Studier av enskilda språk
4	Way of the Butterfly: A Journey towards Transformation through Self-portraits In-Between Koshikawa, Masami 01 January 2015 (has links) It has not been easy for me to talk about myself or describe my feelings or thoughts. Coming from Japan, a collective society, we typically are not raised to do so. Throughout the MFA program at UCF, I have shared my feelings and thoughts through my work. It is important to discuss and inform others of our cultural similarities and differences so that we may gain a better understanding of each other. This process has helped me grow not only on an artistic level, but also on a personal level. My journey towards integration has led me to a meaningful studio practice, which has allowed my work to bridge the gap between Western and Eastern artistic sensibilities. At the beginning of the MFA program, my mother sent many boxes of origami from Japan. As I started incorporating my mother’s origami into my work, I found myself identifying with the origami butterfly. My realization is that the person I am now is not the person I was when I began this journey. My wish for you, the reader, is to go along with me as I tell you the story of my transformation.
