Description

Silver grey damask silk haori with dotted and floral print and metallic floral embroidery. The collar runs around the neck and down to about rib-height. Sleeves end above the elbows. The miyatsukuchi (the lower half of the armholes that are not covered by the sleeves) suggest this garment is made to be worn by a woman. A rectangular section of fabric is attached at both the left and right front opening. To each rectangular section is attached a length of taupe floral silk haori hime. Haori has many unhemmed and lightly fraying seams on both the inside and outside. Seams fortified with temporary white shitsuke ito stitching overall.
