Ju'ichi Nakahara's “Soleil Pattern”  中原淳一 “ソレイユパターン”

10

This piece is significant because it was created in Japan around the late 1940s to early 1950s. It reflects an interest in Western fashion during that period, particularly in how it related to Japanese fashion at the time. The work draws attention to the differences between the fabrics and materials used in Western-style dresses and those found in traditional kimonos.
