This is a vintage haori with delightful 'kusudama'(flowers ball) pattern, which is dyed.
The balls are centered with bigger flowers of rose, kiku (chrysanthemum) and so on.
Textile is kinsha, fine crepe silk with damask effect, and has soft and comfortable touch.
Sleeves are gracefully long, which is the feature of kimono from pre WWII.
The plain silk lining has also richly colored
shibori pattern.
There are seam lines inside the sleeves.
Photo A shows an irregularly dyed spot.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
As a whole, it's still in very good condition.
*Approx background color - dark purple near black
