KIYOKA – Vintage silk Haori in denim-blue with red Shibori flowers
Vintage silk Haori (kimono jacket) hand-sewn of a deep denim-blue silk, decorated with red flowers and a white pattern in a various traditional Shibori tie-dye techniques. The heavy silk has an all-over woven textured pattern.
The Haori is fully lined with smooth silk featuring a delicate light-pink floral motif. The original silk Himo cords are still attached, allowing the jacket to be worn closed with a subtle knot. I personally love the charming detail of the contrasting pink lining peeking out at the sleeves.
Dating from around the 1960s-1970s, this Haori remains in very good vintage condition.
I named this piece Kiyoka, a Japanese female name meaning “pure flower”.
Shibori
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.
