Description: This women’s vintage haori is a striking and unconventional piece, combining subtle symbolism with refined craftsmanship. The black base provides a dramatic backdrop for an embroidered landscape rendered in metallic blue thread, visible across the front and back. The shimmering embroidery adds depth and movement, evoking a nocturnal or moonlit scene. Contrasting with the formal elegance of the embroidered landscape, the back right side features a hand-painted spider web and spider motif, an unusual and intriguing design element. In Japanese symbolism, the spider web represents patience, craftsmanship, and the quiet strength of careful creation, adding a sense of mystery and individuality to the garment. The haori is finished with haori himo (decorative fastening cords), completing its traditional form.
Fabric: Silk with metallic thread embroidery and hand-painted details, offering a rich interplay of texture and sheen.
Style: Women’s vintage haori, suitable as a statement piece for traditional wear or for creative styling with modern outfits. The contrast between the elegant landscape and the bold spider motif gives this haori a distinctive, artistic character.
Condition: Vintage in good condition. The silk remains well preserved, the embroidery retains its luster, and the painted details and haori himo are intact, with only light, age-appropriate wear.
