This is a graceful vintage haori which has fan with kanoko dot pattern which are dyed with shibori(tie dyed) technique.
Shibori is Japanese tie dyeing technique, and it gives the textile very unique texture.
Textile is rinzu silkk with damask effect of 'tachibana' (Japanese green citrus) and rose pattern.
The sleeves are gracefully long, which is the feature of kimonos from pre WWII.
As a whole, there are some rather prominent snags, especially the snage (Photo C) on the back of left sleeve goes up about 10cm- 3.9in. It also has a couple of stains as sheet shown are very slight and not disturbing.
Despite its old age, it is in very good condition and wearable!
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
