Shibori Horizon Haori

Description: This women’s vintage haori is an elegant and exceptionally light garment crafted from fine rinzu silk using traditional shibori dyeing, a Japanese resist-dye technique in which fabric is bound, stitched, or gathered by hand before dyeing to create distinctive patterns and rich texture. The exterior features a soft light brown ground adorned with a serene mountain landscape and matsu (pine) motifs, symbols of endurance and harmony with nature. The shibori work lends the design a subtle three-dimensional quality and an organic, flowing presence.

The haori is lined with beige silk decorated with a bell-pull rope (suzu-o) motif, traditionally associated with protection and good fortune. The interior complements the natural tones of the exterior, while traditional haori himo (decorative haori ties) complete the piece and preserve its authentic form.

Fabric: Rinzu silk exterior with hand-crafted shibori resist-dyed decoration; smooth beige silk lining.

Style: Women’s shibori haori suitable for casual and everyday wear. Its lightweight construction and understated palette make it ideal for both traditional kimono styling and modern layering.

Condition: Vintage in good condition. The silk remains soft and well preserved, the shibori pattern is clearly defined, and the lining and haori himo are intact, showing only minimal, age-appropriate wear.
