A black silk haori, with an absolutely gorgeous winter scene. Speckles of snow throughout. A garment such as this is a labour of love created by highly skilled traditional craftsmanship
It has a very unusual embroidered mon at centre back of the shoulders, it is two butterflies
Complete with himo (removable front ties), usually bought separately
Awase (lined)
In Japan, haori are not normally worn with a sash or belt, they are worn loosely, on top of a kimono and obi, but they also look great with a belt and with western world clothing; see examples shown on the home page.
May have shitsuke-ito stitching around the edge; shitsuke-ito is loose, temporary stitching that the Japanese put in to keep edges neat during storage, it just gets pulled out before wearing. These are often a sign that the garment has never been used
Type: A Japanese haori, a long jacket, with swinging sleeves, traditionally worn over a Japanese kimono but also great worn with contemporary clthing. Especially nice when worn belted, with casual trousers or a smart skirt
Made in Japan
These Japanese garments should be hung out to air 4 times per year, if not worn frequently, just as the Japanese do. Hang your garment to air when you receive it too, as it will have been stored for a while
