 The intricate shibori technique is on full display in this haori, creating a mesmerizing pattern of interlocking asanoha (hemp leaf) motifs. The haori is characterized by its vibrant interplay of colors, with deep indigo and golden to light yellow dominating the design, creating a striking visual effect. The repetitive geometric pattern created by the asanoha motif adds a sense of uniformity and structure to the haori, while the irregularities inherent in the shibori technique introduce a touch of organic fluidity. The tsumugi silk, known for its slightly rough texture and durability, gives this haori a subtle tactile quality in addition to its visual appeal.

The Art Deco movement is one of the significant influences evident in this haori. This movement is characterized by bold geometric shapes, strong colors, and lavish ornamentation. The asanoha motif's sharp lines and bold color contrast reflect the Art Deco influence, blending traditional Japanese design with modernist aesthetics. Moreover, the colors and geometric regularity give the haori a modern, almost Op Art-like quality, despite its traditional roots.
