> This lecture will examine the unique path taken by Japanese fashion,
> starting in the Meiji period. It will explore the radical changes of the
> Meiji period, the flapper-age Taisho years, and the war, reconstruction
> and the Bubble. It will then discuss the fashion of today's Japan, from
> the top designers to the rapid street movements and the diverse
> subcultures. In particular it will examine the links between these vastly
> different times and what continuities and themes exist across the ages of
> fashion in Japan. While often a subject that is studied from the
> perspective of its fragment components, the scope of this lecture is
> deliberately broad in an attempt to identify the continuities and major
> themes of the entire history of Japanese
> fashion in the modern and postmodern eras.
