A dynamic and eye-catching pattern characterizes this silk piece through striking shibori motifs. The background features rich red shibori on black, providing a vivid and contrasting canvas for black and yellow triangular motifs. The black and yellow combination adds depth and intrigue to the design, with the shibori yellow dots adding a playful and dynamic element. The seemingly random placement of the triangles creates a sense of movement across the fabric, while the consistent use of motifs maintains visual cohesion. The clean lines and sharp contrasts in this haori echo the sleek, modern aesthetic that characterized Art Deco, bringing a sense of order and structure to the design. The playful and abstract nature of the motifs hints at elements of Modernism, particularly in the way the forms are simplified and stylized.
