Description
This listing is for a vintage Japanese haori jacket that would have been worn on top of a vintage kimono on a chilly day. The retro feel of the patterning suggests it might be from the 1940s or 1950s. The patterning of this haori relates to the kodo - the study of scent as expressed with incense. The large angled character comes from a game called genji-ko in which the players try to identify the symbols & scents. The silk has a soft cotton feel & the colors includes shades of yellow & golden brown.The characters are made with white shibori-like dots but were likely done with a stencil. Makes a great display! There is a tear in the lining - see last photo - that we can make a simple repair if the buyer requests it, but it may be better left as-is if the piece is for a collection or display. 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 - the little woven ties that are hooked to the little fabric loops that you'll find on at the mid-front of the haori - but they are sold separately. See the current selection under the Haori Himo section of our shop.
