Vivian has shared her thoughts about each work:
Kimono Boy portrays a very
young Japanese boy wearing a Kamishimo. This special attire is a miniature
version of an actual kimono worn by samurais during the Edo Period (1603-1867).
A Kamishimo is comprised of wide, pleated, skirt-like trousers known as Hakama
pants, worn over a traditional kimono gown and a matching Kataginu, a vest with
very wide shoulders. As a member of the court, this boy’s garment was made
of silk rather than cotton or hemp, the fabrics worn by ordinary people.
Kimono Girl depicts a young
Japanese girl of the court dressed in a very formal version of the traditional
kimono worn during important festivals or ceremonial occasions. During the Edo
Period (1603-1867), the kimono gown was adorned by a wide Obi belt at the waist.
It was made of silk with sleeves that widened out from the shoulders.
Kimonos made with exceptional skill from fine material were regarded by the
Japanese as great works of art.
