 Against the haori's rich, black figured silk  background, an asymmetrical arrangement of floral motifs creates a striking visual composition. The design showcases the skillful use of urushi (lacquer-coated) threads in red, pink, silver, and gold, adding luster and dimensionality. The sheen of these threads creates a beautiful interplay of light and shadow against the black background, enhancing the vibrancy of the flowers.

The artistic style is deeply rooted in traditional Japanese aesthetics, particularly the Rinpa school, known for its bold compositions, stylized natural motifs, and lavish use of gold and silver. The elegant lines, balanced composition, and metallic threads reflect Rinpa influence. The haori also embodies miyabi, a traditional ideal of courtly elegance and refinement, evident in the luxurious materials and intricate details. While primarily drawing from Japanese tradition, one might find a subtle affinity with the decorative aspects of Art Nouveau, particularly in the organic lines of the floral motifs. However, the haori's aesthetic remains distinctly Japanese.
