Through October 11
This exhibition, guest curated by Valerie Foley, explores vintage Japanese children’s wear as historical and cultural artifacts. Each piece reveals something about childhood in traditional and transitional Japan: popular patterns and their meanings, favorite fairy tales, annual celebrations, superstitions, material culture, religion, the economy, politics, and outside influences as Japan opened up to the rest of the world.
