two pictures of people in traditional japanese clothing

Under the reign of Japanese emperor Meiji (1867-1912 known as the Meiji Era or Enlightened Rule Reforms), Japanese art and fashion slowly assimilated Europe’s distinct textures and flavors. Uncharacteristic Japanese elements --garish hats, fuzzy crinolines, bombazines, purples, greens, canary yellows- were gradually incorporated into the nation’s indigenous aesthetics.

Exploring depictions of Japan's early embracement of Western fashion, spanning from the cultural enlightenment era of the Meiji Period (1868-1912) to the modern girl era of the Taisho Period (1912-1926). Woodblock prints, illustrations, and photographs.
