The Nyonya KebayaBy Salmah Bte SanusiA very good book with lots of information on the origin of the Nyonya Kebaya.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. such a rare bookBy PeterIts by no means a coincidence that this book was published a mere two years before her passing away. With this book. Datin Seri Endon Mahmood made an invaluable contribution to the revival and to the introduction to the world of the diminishing Peranakan culture. one of the highest unique achievements of maritime Southeast Asia. mainly the Malay Peninsula (Malaysia and Singapore) and Java (Indonesia).This book is for everyone whether they are artists. designers. historians. or just plain collectors. It brings the reader to the old days gone by. to the contemporary. and to what the future might hold. Her love of the Sarong Kebaya and its associated culture shows in the details of the presentations of this book. That itself is a work of art.
