Spring - The Parting of School Chums
Catalog note / 解説
The series The Seasons and their Fashions was published for the Mitsukoshi Department store in Tokyo, possibly as a kimono advertisement. Once again, Toshikata depicts beautiful schoolgirls, this time dressed in kimono designed by Mitsukoshi. The subjects became role models symbolizing modern elegance and maturity for many young middle- to upper-class schoolgirls.
