Today, Mikimoto is synonymous with the pearl and recognized internationally as a symbol of excellence. Born to a noodle-maker in the small town of Toba, Japan, Kokichi Mikimoto followed his vision and passion, becoming one of the world's greatest inventors
Five Stars The book was in good conditon. A Mikimoto Pearl Fashion History - in gorgeous pictures I love fashion photography books. Assouline Publishing makes the best small (80 pages like this one) and large coffee table (Tashen's Berlin, Paris, London) books. Assouline did a three book set honoring Coco Chanel (Chanel, Jewelry, Perfume); a fat book honoring Le Must de Cartier and so much more.So when you see that the publisher is Assouline, think beautiful fashion photography and captions . Not just a long ad Ricky Johnson A few people have called this book nothing but one long ad. While it is not any where near being an exhaustive bio it is entertaining and filled with great pictures. Worth both thee time and the money!
