| Gallery label | British Galleries:
To a Victorian audience, the image of a woman dressed in
a kimono embodied Japan. Items of Japanese women’s dress and accessories were popular purchases. Combs such as these were very attractive and not very expensive. They could be bought from specialist dealers and from shops such as Liberty’s in London. |
