I am doing some Anime research for a costume design project. I would love the help of anyone who knows Anime history well: I need to watch some films that represent, however stylized, the traditional dress of Japan, i.e. kimono, etc. "Spirited Away," for example, is a useful film ... please help me wade through this diverse genre! With thanks,
paul
Why don't you also look at real life Japanesse dress in movies like Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai," or "Ran," or even movies like "The Last Samurai" with Tom Cruise?
It's always better to stylize off the original that to stylize something that's already stylized.

Don't do nothing because you can't do everything.
I agree with Ape, from all the anime I have watch, all of the costumes were based on real life apperal.
