The Metropolitan Museum has books of fabric samples for kimonos with colorful and complex patterns but unfortunately I could only find pictures of kimonos:

People had kimonos with crazy prints throughout the Heian, warring states and Tokugawa periods.
Nice! I haven't seen these before, woodblock prints depicting foreigners in Japan: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search?q=kimono+jap...
I think this is my favorite, Foreign Business Establishment in Yokohama: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/73415
