This silk haori is a captivating example of mid-century textile artistry, utilizing the ancient shibori (tie-dye) technique to create a bold, rhythmic composition. The garment is rendered in a deep, saturated russet-red, which serves as a rich architectural field for its high-contrast surface decoration.

The all-over design features large-scale, circular medallions interspersed with swirling, vine-like karakusa patterns. These motifs are rendered in a soft, cream-colored resist, created by meticulously binding sections of the silk before immersion in the dye bath. The resulting patterns possess the characteristic granular texture and slightly blurred "halo" effect unique to the shibori process, lending a sense of organic movement to the structured layout.
