Katazome (Stencil-Dyed) Haori with Colourful Lining
A haori is a traditional jacket worn over a kimono, usually hip or thigh length
It functions more like a Western cardigan or light coat and is worn open at the front
Haori himo (small decorative cords) can be used to fasten it loosely
The textile of this vintage haori has been made by the katazome stencil dye technique
An interesting shimmery fabric which at certain angles reveals a pattern beneath the surface design
Another hidden feature of this piece is the colourful almost tropical choice of the lining fabric
This is reminiscent of the Edo period when laws banned ordinary citizens from wearing luxurious fabrics and bright colours in public
To express their personal style, they turned to Ura-masaru (hidden fashion), keeping their kimono modest and plain on the outside, but lined with lavish, at times expensive bright-coloured fabrics with intricate artwork on the inside
It still has its Shitsuke-ito, long basting stitches in white thread used to hold the fabric layers flat and maintain its shape during storage
Gently pull out the stitches and remove before wearing
An unused vintage pair of haori himo is included

Caring for your haori

Avoid hanging up in direct sunlight and keep away from humidity
Do not wash with water and opt for professional dry cleaning
Should your haori need to be ironed, to avoid shrinkage, do not use the steam setting
Iron only from the inside, using a pressing cloth between the iron and fabric to prevent discoloration and damage
