中原淳一 Junichi Nakahara : un album sur Flickr
by sbrothier
中原淳一 Junichi Nakahara (1913 - 1988), Kawaga Prefecture
Junichi Nakahara was one of the top leaders in fashion illustration during the first half of the 1900's and his artwork of wide eyed women is often referred to as the forerunner of manga.
Junichi illustrated not only women in kimono, with an obvious Taisho / Art Deco feel to them, he also did many illustrations of stylishly dressed women in yofuku (Western clothing).
I personally find his colourful and dynamic kimono styling to be a major inspiration to my own kimono closet and style, and never grow tired of looking at his illustrations.
I hope that by sharing postcard scans, they will be of inspiration to others also.

San Francisco artist, Lisa Congdon, was born in 1968
to a textile artist mother and physicist father.
Through her mother’s influence, Lisa's love of art and
craft began at a young age, though she has never had
any formal artistic training. She uses her lack of
training to her advantage; instead of relying on
refined technique, she uses her own raw sense of what
looks aesthetically pleasing as her guide.
