<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 2361779, member: 2844&quot;]What makes you think the kimonos are specifically Meiji? According to the information I have, kimonos have remained the same from the Edo period til now.</p><p>Even if Meiji period kimonos were different (which they weren&#039;t imo), it doesn&#039;t mean the paintings date from that period. Even pre-Edo Period kimonos are still depicted today.</p><p><br /></p><p>George, please don&#039;t believe anyone who links East Asian reverse painting to Romania. The Jesuits who introduced it to China were Portuguese. </p><p>Reverse painting used to be done a lot in Europe, especially for religious paintings. It can still be found in southern Germany and a few other parts of Central Europe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
