You can see this set in Shokkan: Material Encounters in Japanese Art. rom.on.ca/whats-on/exhib…

Happy birthday, Issey Miyake! This dress and trouser set is made by the renowned Japanese designer in 1990. Though these pleats may look rigid, they're flexible and add a distinctive texture to the clothing.

This woodblock print is from Shokkan: Material Encounters in Japanese Art. Tsukioka Yoshitoshi 月岡芳年 (1839-1892). Looking Painful, from the series Thirty-two Aspects of Women, Meiji period, 1888, woodblock print on paper, 37.4 × 25.6 cm. rom.on.ca/whats-on/exhib…

Ouch! The woman in this print is getting a tattoo. The look on her face lets us know that the pain is so harsh she can’t help biting into the towel in her hand. The textures on the towel + the woman’s kimono were created by using fabric in the printing process. #WorldArtDay
