Verkehr Museum - "Meisen Exhibition Summer"
The first floor of this local museum is the permanent Maritime or Port display. The second floor displays change. The current display is called Meisen Exhibition Summer, according to the translation of the museum's website.
This is the outside of the museum.
This is the exhibit flyer.
Information from the website (translated, so some things may sound strange).
Photos are not allowed in this area of the museum, but I wish they were so you could see the beautiful kimono collection. The pieces were rather sheer and looked very cool and modern.

It must have been a wonderful exhibition.
You can see some of Yumeiji Takehisa's artwork here:https://moderntokyotimes.com/japanese-art-and-yumeji-takehisa-the-sadness-will-last-forever/
Google Koji Fukiya to see more of the kimono-clad beauties of Taisho and Showa
Sounds like a great exhibition. The examples n the photographs are delightful. xx
I would love this exhibition. It looks fabulous beyond words.
When I read the description, I felt that pattern definitely had a Taisho romance fell to it.
(Taisho is the name of the Japanese era. ) I love the culture of the Taisho era and the Meiji era before that.
This one was a real head scratcher for me! I think we already talked about how 'Verkehr' is the German word for traffic/transportation, but 'Meisen' is also a German word, it means tits (the bird, not the anatomy)!
