One work named in LACMA’s listing is Kamisaka Sekka’s *Man’s Juban (Under-Kimono) with Pine Islands (Matsushima)*, dated 1920–30. It gives the tour’s subject a specific reference point, though it is not confirmed as one of the three objects on the tour. The half-hour visit is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 8, in the David Geffen Galleries.
Three collection objects, with no advance checklist
In Focus Tour: Fashion in Art is a 30-minute, docent-led introduction built around three objects from LACMA’s collection. Its compact, object-based format offers a focused way to look at fashion, costume and textiles, rather than a comprehensive survey of those subjects.
LACMA does not identify the three works in advance. If you are planning to see a particular object, treat the tour’s theme—not a specific gallery stop—as the reliable guide. The tour is volunteer-led and may be canceled; the museum advises checking with its team on the day.

The listed under-kimono is context, not a promised stop
The event listing names Kamisaka Sekka’s *Man’s Juban (Under-Kimono) with Pine Islands (Matsushima)*, dates it to 1920–30 and credits the gift of the 2010 Japanese Art Acquisitions Group. The title makes the work a clear point of reference for a tour about clothing and textiles.
But LACMA does not say that this particular work is among the three objects discussed. Visitors interested in the Sekka piece should check its display status separately rather than assume the tour will include it.
