TOMOKO – Vintage silk black Haori (Kimono jacket) with Shibori details
One-of-a-kind vintage Haori (Kimono jacket) crafted from luxurious black silk, featuring a subtle woven pattern and an exquisite Shibori tie-dye floral motif. If you look closely (see last images), the artistry is evident in the delicate gradient of the dye on the edges and the fine needle marks that remain from the traditional tie-dye stitching process.
The interior is lined with beige silk featuring another elegant flower design. This Haori can be fastened at the front with its original silk Himo cords. Dating back to the 1960s, it remains in good preserved vintage condition. A rare and collectible find.
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.
