Description
"Sunday Best" (晴着, haregi) refers to special occasion clothing — the fine kimono worn for festivals, New Year, or celebrations, as distinct from everyday dress. The term carries an emotional warmth, suggesting a woman at her most carefully adorned and celebratory. Takasawa's interest in the fine gradations of kimono fabric finds perfect expression in this subject: a woman wearing her best, the occasion's joy visible in the quality and care of her dress.
