Noh Costume Study Group / Published in 1974 (38cm×40cm)

Large format (Hardback ) Wakamatsu / ★Limited ★ to 500 copies / This is a collection of works left by the first Wakamatsu Kayo (1907-1974), a leading expert in Nishijin Karao and a dyeing and weaving craftsman of the Showa period, in the year of his sudden death. It corresponds to the "Moon Scroll (Gyoji Costume)" of the three-volume set published together with "Flower Scroll (Noh Costume)" and "Snow Scroll (Noh Costume)".

This book contains the costumes of sumo wrestlers that Huayao spent his life creating in elaborate illustrations. You can admire a number of gorgeous costumes created for Kimura Nosuke and others in a large-scale version that is close to life-size.

It is a valuable record that combines Kayao's unique sense of aesthetics and respect for sumo, which is based on traditional karaori techniques and incorporates a modern sense of color and bold design, and is an indispensable material for the study of Japan's dyeing and weaving crafts and sumo culture. Limited edition.
