'Murasakino' Haori
Sold Out
-
The striking appeal of Japanese hand-dyed Shibori textiles speaks for itself. This 'Murasakino' purple Haori jacket is resplendent in floral patters and motifs, their exquisite design creating a unique garment.
Each tiny repeating pattern which makes up the overall design is the result of a dedicated shibori artist wrapping string around tiny bubbles of silk fabric - the colour doesn't take underneath the string when dipped. When the fabric has dried each string is undone by hand. The result is incredible. It takes many months just for this process alone to be completed. The fabric is then hand-sewn into Kimono form and lined in silk.
The creamy silk inner lining features the smart kikkou 'tortoise shell' pattern, itself, representing long life. The hexagons are in turn punctuated with auspicious Japanese motifs including maple leaves, bamboo grass and Chrysanthemum blooms.
Tailored to wear open - it would look equally stunning over a dress as it would teamed with jeans and a t-shirt or smart trousers and a blouse. Murasakino also makes a striking talking piece when hung on the wall as textile art.
The overall condition of this vintage garment is excellent, despite some very minor age spotting on the reverse side of the sleeves.
Note - Please Read before purchase:
Kimono and Haori are generally made, for wearing on smaller framed, not too tall bodies - however if worn as an open jacket there is generally enough room in the sleeve area and in length to be worn by several sizes larger and taller than originally intended. However there is no guarantee it will sit perfectly on your body shape. Let's call it freestyle!
As we take every measure to ensure you are advised of the correct sizing prior to purchase - we ask you to please be aware that we don't refund for garments chosen in error. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any queries regarding dimensions before purchase.
All vintage and antique kimono and haori were hand made. Therefore you may see some loose, temporary stitches around edges of sleeves, hems and collars on our kimonos. These stitches, called shitsuke ito, are kept in place to assist the valuable kimono in retaining its shape and alignment. In Japan the stitches are normally removed before wearing then restitched again after cleaning and before storage, for the same reasons as above. We like the look of authenticity they bring so feel free to retain them if you like, or remove them before wearing.

The bottom half of the silk Kimono is decorated with Jacquard fan motifs of varying sizes and there are tiny jacquard springtime raindrops covering most of the material. The lining is plain white silk.
At the top under the collar is a Paulonia flower inside a circle which is the Kamon (family crest) of those with the surname of Toyotomi. The original clan leader was a famous samurai lord who played an important part in Japanese history and was both popular and highly controversial throughout his life - he is known as one of the three unifiers of Japan. His wife was Nene.
In immaculate condition generally however there are a couple of barely noticeable squareish marks on the outside of the lower part of the kimono's back.
This would make a stunning robe for the romantic, tied with a sash or hung in a a pretty bedroom.

'Suise' Kimono
$220.00
-
The cool blue-green tones of this vintage textured-silk Kimono are as refreshing as a 'Life Aquatic'. There are hints of yellow, black and white in the thread giving the appearance depth and movement. We can't help but see shimmering water just above swaying tendrils of underwater plantlife when we gaze upon this beauty. Lined in greyish blue and white silk.
Condition
Externally this Kimono is in very good condition however there are a few age spots at the back towards the hem. The largest is about 3cm wide and is located about 20cm above the hem - it's not overly obvious due to the colour of the kimono (ie we had to look hard for it) but if you wished to have the garment amended - shortening the kimono to wear as a thigh length jacket would eliminate the spot. The cream lining has significant age spotting but it cannot be seen when worn or displayed on the wall.
