Kimono Couture: The Beauty of Chiso; A virtual exhibition. Worcester Art Museum
https://www.worcesterart.org/exhibitions/kimono-couture/
Is divided into 11 Parts, none of which has 春本, as the WSJ review asserted:
"Covid-19 disrupted that plan, and the [Worcester] museum's curatorial team deftly adapted. They transformed 'Kimono Couture: The Beauty of Chiso' into an online presentation about the history and making of kimonos, each installment pegged to a piece that would have been on display. The final section centers on this garment, the only one to travel here from Japan. In its new venue, surrounded by a selection of some 60 woodblock prints and illustrated books, most from the museum’s permanent collection * * * And as risky as it is to include erotica in a show open to families, a tiny grouping about books known as shunpon serves a good purpose."
A reminder: In Part 07 (heading: "Designing a Kimono") a white pattern book on black backdrop has, on its right margin: an upward arrow (^) and a downward arrow. By clicking either arrow, one may turn pages of the pattern book.
