East meets West: Meijipunk fashion in period sources

Resources used in the development of the panel given on October 25, 2013 at Steamcon V in Bellevue, WA.

This panel presents highlights of fashion innovation from the Meiji era (1868-1912 C.E.).  This fascinating period saw a reciprocal hybridization of traditional wafuku (i.e. kimono) and western fashion.  The results are delightfully steampunk, or should I say Meijipunk?
