In the Momoyama and Edo periods, decorative techniques and patterns for kosode (short-sleeved kimono, a precursor to the present-day kimono) and Noh costumes underwent remarkable development. Screens with the motif of kimono on hanging racks are generally called tagasode-byobu, which conveys a sense of the manners and customs of the time. The name tagasode originates from a poem contained in Kokinwakashu (Collection of Old and New Japanese Poetry). Although originating from a genre of paintings of women at leisure, tagasode-byobu depicts kimono and accessories only. A magnificent kimono, a sachet, and other accessories on the rack imply the presence of a woman. These are among the most beautiful and well-balanced tagasode-byobu in existence.
