Vintage 1940s 100% silk robe featuring an Edo period floral block print. The Edo period (1615–1868) in Japan was the emergence of a new group of sophisticated art lovers, the townspeople, called chonin (“people of the blocks”). This group included merchants and artisans, many of whom prospered in the booming economy that led to an increased demand for luxury goods. Through mass-produced woodblock prints, inexpensive art works were for the first time available to everyone.
