This listing is for a vintage Japanese haori jacket. Learn more about this type of garment below.

A quiet statement piece that reveals its artistry the closer you look, this vintage women’s haori features a black silk ground brought to life with an asymmetrical bamboo scene. The design is rendered in refined yuzen, with soft hues of cream, gray, and blush with pops of orange. Each leaf is delicately traced with fine gold outlining that catches the light without overpowering the composition. The placement feels intentional and balanced, allowing the negative space of the black silk to frame the bamboo in a calm, almost meditative way.

Inside, the lining offers a striking contrast in bright yellow with a subtle floral silhouette pattern, adding an unexpected pop of color when worn open or in motion.

Signs of age include some mottling on the exterior that blends into the pattern and visible blemishes on the lining, see last photos.

A woman's haori is a traditional Japanese jacket worn over a kimono, designed to provide both warmth and an added layer of formality. Today, these jackets transition effortlessly into modern fashion as a lightweight, open-front layer. They can be worn over dresses, denim, or simple basics to add texture, color, and a distinctive, artful touch.

Haori do not cross over or tie with a sash, like a kimono does - they are meant to be worn open to reveal a bit of what is worn beneath. An optional accessory is the haori himo - little woven ties that are hooked to the little fabric loops that you'll find at the mid-front of the haori - but they are sold separately. We'll select one that goes with this haori if you pick the Add A Himo Pair option above. To choose a pair of our fancier himo, CLICK HERE.
