This listing is for a vintage Japanese haori jacket that would have been worn on top of a vintage kimono on a chilly day.  

This haori is a classic black silk jacquard with tone-on-tone auspicious elements woven such that they catch the light and shimmer.  A large shibori design appears at the back and sleeves - long grasses arch up from the hem, with five-pointed florals perched along the stems.  Several white shibori circles dot the imagery, with a few of them dyed a soft pink. See video below on the shibori technique.

A single paulownia crest at the neck.

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.
