UMI – Vintage Shibori Haori (Kimono jacket) in raspberry silk
This vintage Haori (Kimono jacket) in raspberry silk is crafted using the traditional Japanese Shibori technique, creating a beautiful textured surface with an elegant floral pattern across the back and sleeves. The silk is soft, lightweight, and supple, moving gracefully.
The interior is lined with silk, and the Haori can be fastened with the unused pink silk Himo cords*. Dating from the 1960s, this piece is in good vintage condition, with only a few faint, barely visible stains on the sleeves and lining (see last images). Named Umi, Japanese for “sea” or “ocean”.
*Silk scarf and long silk Obijime cord available separately
SHIBORI
The beautiful refined pattern of this silk Haori is made using the Shibori technique, a Japanese manual tie-dye technique that originated in the 8th century. With thin threads, countless small dots are accurately tied into the fabric, after that the fabric is dyed by hand. When the threads are removed, a refined uneven pattern appears. Making Shibori textiles is very time-consuming and requires a lot of skill and focus. The word Shibori comes from the Japanese verb shiboru which means ‘to wring or pinch’. There are many ways to bind Shibori fabric, resulting in many different patterns. The structure of silk Shibori fabric feels very pleasant and soft. Watch the video about how Shibori is made in the last slide.
