Kimono-shaped Comforter (Yogi) with Peonies and Stripes early 20th century Japan A yogi is a thickly padded, kimono-shaped comforter, used for sleeping on cold winter nights. They were made in three sizes, with the luxurious silk damask yogi exhibited here representing a large example. Yogi became popular in the Edo period (1615-1868) and were frequently part of a wedding trousseau. Yogi were often decorated with auspicious motifs, suggesting that they would keep sleepers safe and sound through the night. Since both covers and the wadding would have been replaced as needed, yogi could be used over a long period of time.In ukiyo-e paintings, prints, and illustrated books we often see pictures of sleeping coupleswhether husband and wife or courtesans with clientscovered with yogi. These images show how the neck and the shoulders were kept warm due to the kimono shape of the coverlet. Most yogi are quite heavy because of the wadding, but similarly shaped, lighter garments were worn as nMantle 1885-95 American.

Early Meiji period kimonos often have gray or black grounds and decoration concentrated along the hemline. Here, the plum tree, painted in ink and pigments and embroidered with silk and occasional glints of gold, seems to glow in soft moonlight, while the rest of the robe is in shadow. The design scheme is based on the kosode style that became popular among chnin women at the end of the Edo period (1615-1868). Since the left panel overlaps the right, much of the plum-tree pattern would ordinarily be obscured, coming to light only as the wearer walked. Another plum tree is hidden on the lining inside the underflap.. Kimono with Blossoming Plum Tree. Japan. second half of the 19th century.

The design is made up of alternating quatrefoils of dark red color framed by pearls with offsetting thorns rendered with stipples of dark reddish-brown color on a light tan ground. The quatrefoils are framed by interlacing ribbons of light tan color with dark reddish-brown border and shade. The pearls bordering the quatrefoils are colored with white..

The ingenious shape and cut of this whitework bonnet allows it to button together to form an attractive shape with a flounce at the back, but to lie flat when unbuttoned. The flat cut would have greatly simplified washing and pressing, which was by far the most laborious and time-consuming domestic chore prior to the adoption of the electric washing machine.
