Popular between 1900 and 1945, Japanese propaganda kimono, known as omoshirogara (meaning interesting or amusing), included kimono and other traditional Japanese clothing with imagery that celebrated Japan's modernity and, later, military power. These garments were worn by men, women and children at home or to intimate gatherings. This haori (kimono-style jacket) features flyers for Columbia Records, Victor Records and Toyo Chikuonki Kabushiki-kaisha (Orient Records), who were among the first purveyor of records and gramophones.
