This haori features shibori temari (handball) motifs against a background of rinzu fan patterns, with a single embroidered mon adding a touch of formality. The temari balls are rendered in rich burgundy with intricate golden-yellow details, floating against a warm mustard background. These playful yet sophisticated temari motifs are connected by sinuous white lines that suggest a sense of motion and continuity.
The overall aesthetic of the haori demonstrates an influence from the Art Deco movement, characterized by bold geometric shapes, strong contrasts, and lavish ornamentation. The precise, repetitive patterns within the temari balls, coupled with their harmonious integration into the broader design, evoke the structured elegance of Art Deco. Additionally, the geometric fan patterns subtly interwoven into the background enhance this connection, providing a textured backdrop that enriches the visual complexity of the piece.
