Amazing exhibition otherwise and truly appreciate the beauty and effort involved. Really brightening up our days in this global fight against the virus.
I always wanted to own a dressing gown made from the most colourful, richly embroidered brocade, so I can look forward to getting up in the morning and be instantly cheered up! I’ve never even seen anything like that in shops, but probably I could not afford it, if I have found it. Kimonos probably had that effect on the wearers and they were extremely expensive in some cases.
i was going to say something about the beautiful shibori work on that yellow kimono and then i saw the one with the skeletons on it. i now know what to do with the skeleton fabric i have sitting around
Quick note on the artisans/geisha commentary around minute 7: using the term geisha houses would probably be more appropriate than brothels, given the social classes involved.
Good question. I’d like to know as well with a view to visiting what looks like a wonderfully curated exhibition with beautiful artifacts. A real shame if the public never had the chance to see it.
It seems that kimono were an early form of what today we would call merch or fan based products! Who knew! I will never look at a merch t-shirt the same way again.
@@tomgwerzman3644 : and you're implying green does not complement the pieces ? I think it does. Are you saying my sense of colour is inferior to yours ? I'm so triggered I'll hurt myself now. I hope that makes you happy.
I’m not sure what you mean. A family was more likely to keep ornate kimonos than plain ones. Fashions at the time meant that women’s kimonos tended to be more ornate than men’s. Thus, when museums are looking to buy antique kimonos, they can only buy the ones which someone made a special effort to keep. There are more women’s kimonos on the antiques market than men’s.

Thank you so much for making a video of the exhibition for the rest of the world!
Thank you. The beauty of this exhibition is lighting up my life.
yeah, by stealing light from my life by cultural appropriation
I wrote my senior thesis on Kabuki Theater! This is so cool
The variations of the standard pieces is so enviously wonderful! You have done a beautiful job of explaining this discipline.

Amazing and so interesting! Great narrative tour by the V&A!
🦊I have a wildly different opinion.
And her inaccuracies agree with me.

Great exhibition!

" Very beautiful ! "
Will the exhibition still be on when the museum reopens, whatever that date?

At this moment, it is my understanding travelers to GB from the States are not allowed by GB and most of Europe. Too much Covid here.

What is kimono
If I ever try a kimono on, I hope it will feature skeletons
Fantastic, but why are the walls green?
Are you racist against green ?
@@barkebaat haha no but usually the color of the walls in those exhibits are chosen to complement the pieces

I’m
I can't handle her saying "obbie" over and over 😓
You’re so fucking ignorant…
Great Video. Terrible, inaccurate, Narration.😀
Less of the curator please, more of the items.
3:25 - this is so racist. or discrimination or at least makes me so angry.
