Description

Translucent dark blue haori. About hip-length. Weave pattern depicts curved lines and circles. The collar runs around the neck and down front opening. The sleeves are broad and rectangular, ending above the elbow with broad arm openings. The miyatsukuchi (the lower half of the armholes that are not covered by the sleeves) suggests it is made to be worn by a woman. Inside the haori are two icy blue haori hime (cords to tie the haori closed) that are flat and braided, each ending with a tassel. Haori is not lined.
