Ryūko Dragon & Tiger Haori

Description: This men’s haori is crafted from tsumugi silk, featuring a refined, textured exterior. The inner lining is hand-painted in a traditional Sumi-e style, depicting a tiger among bamboo and a dragon emerging from the water, set against a backdrop of mountains. The tiger symbolizes courage, strength, and earthly power, while the dragon represents wisdom, spiritual energy, and protection. Together, they form the classical Ryūko motif, embodying the balance of opposing forces, much like Yin and Yang, creating a harmonious and formidable emblem of strength, courage, and mastery over both the natural and spiritual worlds. Gold details accentuate the tiger, dragon, and key landscape elements, enhancing the depth and elegance of the artwork.

Fabric: Tsumugi silk exterior with a soft, hand-painted silk lining. Gold accents highlight the tiger, dragon, and landscape, adding dimension and visual richness.

Style: A formal men’s haori that pairs a minimalist exterior with a richly symbolic, artistic interior. Ideal for collectors, ceremonial wear, or display, celebrating traditional Japanese mythology and craftsmanship.

Condition: Good condition. The outer silk is intact, and the hand-painted lining remains vivid, with gold details well preserved.
