呉服の陳列

Display of Kimono Fabrics

Tsurumai Park, Nagoya, Aichi · 1910 (Meiji era)

Kimono fabrics shown off with Western-style decoration. This is the display of a Kyoto kimono shop.

About this photo

Semicircular arches, held up by slender pillars, run side by side. Inside the arches hang what appear to be bolts of fabric and garments, and the whole display is built like a Western-style colonnade.

In the table of contents, this display is No. 10, and the exhibitor is "Takashimaya Iida Kimono Shop, Kyoto City." Nos. 11 and 12, which follow, are kimono-fabric displays too, under the names of two Nagoya City shops, the Ito and Kikyoya kimono shops. The exhibition was held in 1910 (Meiji 43), at Tsurumai Park in Nagoya. In time for it, the Chuo Line, which until then had run at ground level, was raised onto an elevated track.
