This silk haori is a visually striking example of textile design, utilizing the era's preference for bold scale and saturated colors to create a modern botanical statement. The garment is rendered on a deep purple ground, providing a regal architectural field for its high-contrast silkscreened decoration.
The primary design features a series of large, stylized blossoms that sprawl energetically across the body and sleeves. These flowers are rendered in a crisp palette of cream and soft red, accented by vibrant green leaves. Connecting the blossoms are sweeping, white-curved vines and smaller clusters of yellow berries or flowers, which create a rhythmic sense of movement across the textile. The background silk also features a subtle, tonal "cloud" or "mist" pattern woven into the fabric, adding a layer of traditional depth beneath the energetic modern print.
Its measurements are 44 inches (112 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 38 inches (97 cm) in height.
