This silk haori utilizes the lustrous qualities of rinzu (damask) to enhance its graphic surface decoration. The garment is rendered on a muted, slate-blue silk ground, providing a serene architectural field for the high-contrast imagery.
The all-over silkscreened composition features a rhythmic arrangement of flowering plum blossoms and meandering vine-like foliage. The primary motifs are organized into elegant, cloud-shaped medallions filled with dense floral bouquets in terracotta-red, mustard-yellow, and cream. These medallions are interspersed with delicate, monochromatic leaf clusters that trail across the body and sleeves, creating a sense of visual flow. The rinzu base adds a significant layer of depth; light interacting with the woven damask reveals a tonal geometric fretwork pattern that "shimmers" beneath the printed design, elevating the garment's overall textural complexity.
Measuring 47 inches (119 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end, with a height of 37 inches (94 cm).
