Description

Silver grey haori with a striped weave and dotted print pattern. About hip-length. The collar runs around the neck and down the front opening. Sleeves are broad and rectangular ending above the elbow. Broad armholes. The miyatsukuchi (the lower half of the armholes that are not covered by the sleeves) suggest this haori is made to be worn by a woman. The haori body and sleeves are lined with white damask silk with a pale blue organic line print. Inside the left and right front opening of the haori are two silver grey haori hime (cords used to tie the haori closed) that are flat and braided. Tassels at end of each haori hime.
