Ochre Omeshi Silk Haori: Vertical Vines & Floral Medallions

This silk haori is a sophisticated example of mid-century textile design, utilizing the structured properties of its weave to create a sense of balanced, rhythmic movement. The garment is crafted from omeshi (woven) silk, a high-quality material known for its slightly textured hand and matte finish, providing a stable architectural field for its dense surface decoration.

The primary composition features a series of vertical, stripe-like bands filled with scrolling vines, geometric diamonds, and floral chains rendered in a warm ochre and terracotta palette. Superimposed over this disciplined linear background are large, circular floral medallions scattered across the body and sleeves. These medallions alternate between soft pink and cream tones, featuring stylized blossoms that appear to float over the vertical "shimmer" of the woven patterns.

It measures 48 inches (122 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at a height of 32 inches (81 cm).
