EP 73: The Most Important Culture In Japan By Kimono Culture Expert Sheila Cliffe

Send us Fan MailThank you for listening. Here's the full 2nd episode from our Youtube show! On this episode, we are delighted to introduce you to kimono specialist… Sheila Cliffe a Professor at Jumonji Gakuen Women's University, Japan. She has lectured at conferences, museums and events in Japan, England, Hawaii and Korea and she is one of the first non-native Japanese people to hold an official kimono dressing and teaching licence. After gaining a reputation as “the kimono lady”, and being presented on TV and in magazines as some sort of kimono expert, she decided to get a Ph.D. and become a bit more academic in her area. In 2017 she published The Social Life of Kimono with Bloomsbury Academic. Her research centres around the kimono as a garment with a fashion history, and as an embedded fashion item. She considers herself to be not only a kimono trend hunter, but also a myth buster. She continues to research contemporary kimono, and to put her work online, in order to counteract the orientalization surrounding the kimono that continues to spread myths and false information outside Japan.
