This silk haori is a charming example of textile design, utilizing the lustrous properties of rinzu (damask) to ground a rhythmic botanical composition. The garment is rendered on a deep navy-blue ground, providing a saturated architectural field for its high-contrast silkscreened surface decoration.
The primary design features a sprawling arrangement of stylized blossoms and leafy vines in a palette of buttery yellow, cream, and sage-green. These floral clusters are interspersed with delicate, swirling white-dotted lines that resemble trailing vines or the gentle movement of air, adding a sense of flow across the back and sleeves. The rinzu base fabric adds a secondary layer of visual luxury; light interacting with the woven damask reveals tonal patterns that catch the light, creating a subtle "shimmer" beneath the colorful printed garden scene.
It's in very good condition, measuring 47 inches (119 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at 37 inches (94 cm) in height.
