    They're just art cards someone had framed but I'd like to know who did them.
    There's tiny kanji in the lower left of the first (the lady wearing a junihitoe), nothing I could find on the lady reclining in the big chair and possibly a name on part of the lady's clothing in the the third pic of the man & woman. 20180509_161618.jpg 20180509_161641.jpg 20180509_161723.jpg 20180509_161856.jpg 20180509_161928.jpg

    Haruyo Morita "Twelve Layer Kimono" for the first, and possibly for the others.

    Junihitoe / Twelve Layer Kimono: same difference.

    I agree, it looks like they are all by Haruyo Morita. She started out as a kimono painter, which shows in her other work.

    It is.:)
    It dates from the 8th century Nara period, and was worn by ladies of the court. Just like the hairstyle of almost loose long hair tied in a special way very low down the back.

    Thank you very much moreotherstuff and Any Jewelry !
    You made my day !
    When I saw the 1st one I immediately thought of the Princess in
    The Tale of the Princess Kaguya; such a beautiful movie, by the way,
    based on The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.
