KURENAI – antique silk Shibori Haori in red-purple
This beautiful antique silk Haori (kimono jacket) is hand-sewn from vibrant red-purple silk with a subtle all-over woven floral pattern that catches the light beautifully.
The stunning acer leaf motifs are hand-dyed using the traditional Japanese Shibori tie-dye technique. The soft antique silk drapes beautifully, and the pattern fits this autumn season perfectly.
The sleeves are lined with smooth silk in a bright orange-yellow. The back interior features a smaller, colorful panel of fabric. A lovely detail reflecting an era when silk was precious and fabric was used sparingly.
Dating from around the 1930s-1940s, this Haori remains in good antique condition, no flaws.
The pink Obijime shown is not included, but is available separately in my shop.

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.
