YUKIKO – antique Meisen silk Haori with Art Deco design

Category : ,

Antique silk Meisen Haori in a champagne color with a stunning, bold design in red and dark green. This abstract geometric pattern is inspired by Art Deco designs from the early 1920s. Meisen silk* weaving technique is characterized by its beautiful iridescent shimmer when the silk fabric is exposed to light. The silk lining features a subtle print of plum blossom. This antique beauty is in very good condition. Yukiko is a Japanese girl’s name that means ‘happiness, snow child’.

*Meisen silk is a traditional weaving technique from Saitama prefecture, handmade of raw spun silk. At first the loose silk (parallel) warp threads were dyed using stencil printing, this way the fabric became reversible with the same pattern on both sides. The threads were then set in a loom, after which the (horizontal) weft threads were woven. The warp threads and the weft threads were of different colors which creates its subtle sheen. The threads were slightly misaligned to create the ikat pattern, which creates Meisen characteristic refined lines in the fabric.

Meisen silk was first produced in the late 19th century and became very popular in Japan in the 1920s and 1930s. It is nowadays very rare and hard to find. Patterns on Meisen were often brightly colored, largely abstract, bold geometric patterns and exotic flowers. The designs were influenced by the West, such as Art Nouveau, Expressionism and Art Deco. I recently visited a traditional Meisen silk weaving studio in Saitama, Japan. Today there are only 3 weaving mills left in Saitama. You can see a short impression of my visit on my instagram account.
