This silk michiyuki is a sophisticated example of  outerwear, utilizing bold botanical imagery to create a sense of balanced, rhythmic movement. The garment is rendered on a deep charcoal-black ground, providing a saturated architectural field for its high-contrast surface decoration.

The primary design features a series of silkscreened plum blossom branches (ume) and large white peonies that drift elegantly across the body and sleeves. The plum branches are rendered in a warm ochre-tan, featuring sharp, angular twigs that contrast with the soft, rounded forms of the blossoms. As a michiyuki, the garment showcases Western-inspired squared tailoring at the top front and a secure closure, distinguishing its silhouette from the open-front haori. The interior lining, visible at the neck, features a pale silk with tonal patterns, adding a hidden layer of refinement to the bold, graphic exterior.

measures 47 inches (119 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 34 inches (86 cm) in height.
