This haori features a striking yuzen-painted and metallic couched design. The large fan designs, rendered in rich blacks, cream, and contrasting shades of red, are reminiscent of the clean lines and stylized forms typical of Art Deco. These fan motifs are complemented by hollyhock, kaioke (shell containers), seashells, paper cranes, and phoenix motifs, with a single mon adding to its traditional significance.

The large-scale fan pattern and the juxtaposition of different design elements create a modern, almost abstract composition, while the individual motifs remain rooted in classical Japanese symbolism. Additionally, the interplay of geometric shapes and the collage-like arrangement of the motifs evoke the spirit of early 20th-century modernism, particularly the work of artists like Henri Matisse and his cut-outs.

Dimensions: 49inches (124 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 33 inches (84 cm) in height.
