Terracotta Rinzu Silk Haori: Woven Scrolling Cloud Damask

This rinzu (damask) silk haori is a masterful example of understated elegance and technical precision. The garment is rendered in a warm, monochromatic terracotta-orange silk, where the primary visual impact is achieved through the rinzu weaving technique.

The all-over damask pattern features a rhythmic, large-scale composition of scrolling "cloud" or water forms that meander across the surface. These fluid, undulating motifs are woven into the fabric itself, creating a lustrous interplay of light and shadow that gives the garment an architectural depth. Because the design is monochromatic, the patterns appear to "shimmer" and shift as the wearer moves, showcasing the sophisticated texture of the damask.

It spans 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 31 inches (79 cm) in height.
