Terracotta Rinzu Silk Haori: Cream Florals & Geometric Shapes

This silk haori is a visually dynamic example of mid-century textile design, utilizing the lustrous properties of rinzu (damask) to ground a bold, geometric composition. The garment is rendered in a warm terracotta-red, providing a rich architectural field for its high-contrast surface decoration.

The primary design features a rhythmic arrangement of large, cream-colored chrysanthemum blossoms interspersed with sharp, triangular motifs. These triangles are filled with diverse patterns, including crisp vertical stripes and delicate kanoko (fawn-spot) dots, creating a sense of fragmented geometric energy across the body and sleeves. The rinzu base adds significant visual depth; light interacting with the woven damask reveals a tonal field of secondary floral and scrolling vine patterns that "shimmer" beneath the primary printed design.

It's in very good condition, measuring 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at 37 inches (94 cm) tall.
