The design forms a scattered collage of Genji-ko incense symbols -- geometric marks originating in the traditional incense-comparison game and associated with chapters of \u003ci\u003eThe Tale of Genji\u003c\/i\u003e. The ikat technique uses resist-dyed threads woven together to create the pattern, producing the characteristic softly blurred edges and subtle irregularities visible throughout the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSigns of age are present, including a few scattered blemishes, 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.
