This silk haori utilizes the lustrous properties of its weave to create a monochromatic yet high-contrast architectural statement. The garment is rendered in a deep, saturated russet-red, providing a rich field for its complex surface decoration.
The jacket features a prominently defined rinzu (damask) pattern that covers the entire body and sleeves. This woven design consists of large-scale, interlocking geometric key frets (known as sayagata) overlaid with lush, blossoming chrysanthemums and scrolling foliage. Because the pattern is woven rather than dyed, it creates a subtle "shimmer" as light catches the different directions of the silk threads. Adding to its formal pedigree, the garment features a single family crest (mon) centered on the back, rendered in a crisp white circular motif that punctuates the dense, tonal field.
Its measurements are 48 inches (122 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 38 inches (97 cm) in height.
