Special thanks to my honours thesis supervisors Michael Ames and David Cunningham for their support and guidance, and to David for the loan of two kimono from his personal collection.

  Thanks to the Museum of Anthropology, UBC, for the opportunity to explore the Web as a medium for my Honours thesis. I would like to thank all members of the Museum's staff for their help at various times during the project, especially Skooker Broom, Alison Cronin, Elizabeth Johnson, Bill McLennan, Darrin Morrison, and Ann Stevenson. Thanks also to Cindy McMullen for helping me photograph the kimonos.
