Kimono Textile presents the fabric itself as subject — a pattern or design from a kimono textile displayed or rendered for its own decorative interest rather than as clothing worn by a figure. The Japanese textile arts represented one of the most sophisticated craft traditions in the world, their patterns drawing on centuries of accumulated design knowledge and technical innovation. Mori's interest in textile patterns connected his printmaking practice to the broader world of Japanese decorative arts, and his stencil technique was particularly well suited to rendering the flat, repeating patterns of woven and dyed kimono fabric.
