The Museum DKM presents the extraordinary collection of historical kimonos by Yoshiko Inui (JP). The patterns and symbols reveal the drama of Japan’s rapid modernization around 1900 after its encounter with the West.
\nThe kimonos will be shown together with contemporary works by Yu Araki (JP), Erika Kobayashi (JP), Jong Ok Ri (JP\/KR), Kei Takemura (JP), Yuichiro Tamura (JP).<\/p>\n

The exhibition is a project by Roger M. Buergel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

It was a good 160 years ago that Japan reinvented itself. There was no alternative for the island empire, after all, the Western powers were at the door \u2013 with gunboats and a catalog of demands. And so began a historically unprecedented process of rapid modernization that encompassed all aspects of Japanese life: from family and gender relations to the educational system (school and university), the political constitution and administration, to industry and the military. As always, culture had the difficult task of mediating the stark tensions between tradition and innovation. This is why it is possible to reconstruct the history of modern Japan based on just one, albeit unique, item of clothing: the kimono.<\/p>\n

Like the Imperial House, the kimono is a constant of Japanese life; it remains essentially the same. Precisely because the kimono does not alter its shape, the patterns that adorn it must change. \u00abExciting patterns\u00bb (this is what omoshirogara<\/em> means) began to appear towards the end of the 19th century, when fashion also began to incorporate modernity: railways, battleships, airplanes, cinema, Mickey Mouse, postcards, or even newspaper reports of military exploits. If the patterns of the 1920s celebrated an optimistic internationalism with zeppelins and the Olympic Games, the the colors and symbols darken in the 1930s as Japan began dealings with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.<\/p>\n

OMOSHIROGARA presents the collection of the Japanese textile historian and undisputed expert in the field, Yoshiko Inui (Prof.em., Tokai University, Sapporo [JP]). The exhibition was conceived by Yoshiko Inui and Roger M. Buergel, with academic advice from Hans B. Thomsen (Professor of East Asian Art History at the University of Zurich).<\/p>\n

In addition to the kimonos from the Inui Collection, OMOSHIROGARA shows works by contemporary artists Yu Araki, Erika Kobayashi, Jong Ok Ri, Kei Takemura and Yuichiro Tamura. These works, selected by Miwa Negoro and Mariko Mikami, are an indispensable introduction to the afterlife of the crucial period of Japanese history between the Meiji Restoration (from 1868) and the end of the Pacific War (1945).<\/p>\n

The exhibition was curated by Roger M. Buergel and was his responsibility.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

1933: Being accused by the League of Nations to have annexed Manchuria (Manchukuo in Japanese) illegally, the Japanese government rejected the Commission’s findings and withdrew from the League in March 1933. Apart from the white dove, the kimono-pattern shows the League of Nations-building in Geneva; steamboats on Lake Geneva; agricultural work on the plains of Manchuria; a map with a Japan that extends to Korea and Northeast China plus the flags of the US and GB with the flag of Manchukuo, Japan\u00b4s puppet state.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
