Scattered across the outer silk are small, appliquéd brocade fragments, each filled with its own miniature floral or geometric pattern in gold and muted jewel tones -- almost like treasured scraps of antique textile. A single three-leaf ivy crest (\u003cem\u003etsuta\u003c\/em\u003e), a motif associated with resilience and enduring growth, appears at the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eInside, the pale lining became a canvas for a striking monochromatic, hand-painted landscape depicting a rustic waterside village with thatched-roof houses, trees, rocky banks, distant mountains, and a small boat along the shore. The loose painting style creates the feeling of a traditional sumi-e landscape, complete with an artist's signature and seal at the lower edge. The understated gray exterior makes the elaborate hidden lining especially delightful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eArtist's signature and seal that appear to read \"Gyokudo.\" The attribution has not been authenticated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSigns of age are present, including areas of fading and discoloration to the outer fabric that are noticeable on close inspection, see last photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaori 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.
