This haori features a black silk base that serves as a dramatic canvas for an intricate, abstract design that includes fragmented, geometric shapes reminiscent of torn paper or scattered petals, rendered in shimmering urushi threads. Interspersed within this dynamic composition are circular floral motifs, appearing as stylized medallions. These elements, along with the single mon, anchor the design in traditional Japanese iconography. The color palette is restrained yet luxurious, with metallic urushi threads providing golden, silver, and bronze accents that contrast beautifully against the rich black background.

The bold contrast between the dark fabric and the shimmering metallic patterns evokes Art Deco sensibilities, particularly in the stylized circular floral emblems. There's a hint of Modernist abstraction in the way the traditional motifs are deconstructed and rearranged across the garment's surface.
