If you would have to do a video or picture series called "100 Years of Wafuku fashion", which covers the decades 1900s to 2000s (or maybe you can extend it to up to maybe the 2020s). Which shows not only what the clothing looked like but other parts of the ensemble as well (i.e. hairstyles,make up, and accessories). What will you show as like the representation of each decade?

Fashion and hairstyles history overview could easily fill a book. And we are not even touching the issue of handling subdivisions like social class, areas of Japan, subcultures, etc etc.

So, pinpointing fashion trends over such a loooong period of time is difficult... Maybe one day I'll have the bravery for such a project but today is not the day xD

Still, off the top of my head, you can find those subjects (loosely) covered in following past posts:

[100 Years of Beauty: Japan - Research Behind the Looks] video, which goes with this video released by CUT [Evolution of furisode fashion from the 1950′s to 2020′s] charts For hairstyles, look at the nihongami tag, especially Shota Kotake's illustrations and Nancy Duong's Hairstyles of Taisho Japan (new source is here) My kimono tag is not truly organized by eras :S You can still check the following periods: Meiji, Taisho (or Taisho romance), WWII. Also check any "antique"* mention. Post WWII is messier. I have a few things filled under Showa, and virtually nothing tagged as Heisei ("vintage"* is not properly ordered enough :S). For late Heisei/Reiwa look at modern kimono tag. (* on this blog, I use antique and vintage quite liberally!) I can't find all the posts I am thinking of, but subcultures I've covered in the past includes moga, bankara, gyaru, decora, kawaii / loli, bozozoku, ... I'll also recommend this article (cw: USA internment camps), as wafuku history doesn't stop at Japan and should also includes overseas. I don't have much on then occupied territories (like Manchouria, Korea, Phillipines, Singapore etc) + the Ryuukyuu but they should also be cited here!

Hope you'll find something useful among those messy recommendations ^^;
