This is a lovely vintage haori.
Famous sceneries in Kyoto, such as Kiyomizu and Kinkaku temples, are dyed with itome
yuzen technique.
Combination of colors used on pattern is quite impressive and catches eyes.
Sleeves and bodice are gracefully long, which is the feature of kimono from pre WWII.
Textile is silk with damask effect(rinzu) of fine seasonal flowers, and has slightly textured and soft touch.
Cute
shibori fabric is used as its lining.
Stitches on both sleeves are coming loose.
It has some other flaws as shown on photos.
Please see photos for details.
A wonderful vintage item to wear or add to your collection.
