- This haori demponstrates a variety of geometric patterns of repeating white shapes against a dark indigo ground. It also has an inner silk lining.
- Subject Matter
- This haori required a labor intensive technique called shibori, in which hundreds of hours would have been spent tying up each small section where white can be seen on the fabric before immersing it in dye. Shibori textiles are very expensive due to the time and skill required to produce them.
