 The design of this rayon haori is a striking fusion of organic forms and geometric patterns, creating a harmonious whole. The design is dominated by graceful, stylized daffodil-type flowers with elongated green stems and leaves, rendered in a bold, graphic style that echoes the streamlined forms popular in Art Deco design. These floral elements are artfully arranged against a background of intricate shokkou patterns.

The color palette is particularly striking, with the vibrant green of the stems contrasting beautifully against the rich, warm tones of the background. The pale, creamy yellow flowers add a delicate touch to the otherwise bold design. The shokkou pattern in the background, executed in a copper hue, creates a sense of depth and texture, reminiscent of the metallic accents often found in Art Deco designs. The traditional shokkou motif, typically associated with good fortune and longevity in Japanese symbolism, is reimagined here in a more contemporary context.
