Description
This antique Japanese long haori, dating from approximately the 1920s to 1940s, captivates with its particularly charming and playful color scheme.
At first glance, its delicate, almost childlike aura is somewhat reminiscent of the color palette of historical children's kimonos. The deep pinkish-rose to reddish-violet base is enlivened by vibrant, light blue cloud shapes and white, blue, and pink plum blossoms. It is precisely this unusual color combination that gives the haori the expressive, decorative character so typical of many pre-war pieces.
The arrangement of the branches and blossoms is also clearly reminiscent of classic Japanese ume (plum) motifs. Especially delightful is the strong blue that repeatedly emerges between the white and pink blossoms, lending a playful, almost modern touch to the traditional pattern.
The fabric is additionally finished with a fine woven background pattern that becomes subtly visible depending on the light. The surface does not appear highly glossy, but rather calm and soft—this understated texture underscores the special antique character of the piece.
The lining is also exquisitely designed. It picks up similar shades, yet features a much more geometric composition with floral elements in pink, red, yellow, and white. This creates an exciting contrast to the exterior without making the overall effect cluttered. The front and back complement each other in a very harmonious way.
Despite its playful appearance, this haori can be styled in versatile ways. Worn with black trousers or black boots, it looks surprisingly clean and modern, while over a dress, it highlights its more romantic and feminine side.
An antique long haori with an exceptionally charming color world and plenty of personality. A piece that feels familiar at first sight, yet is rarely found in this combination—especially beautiful for those who appreciate the playful yet elegant side of antique Japanese clothing.
*There are spots at the sleeve openings and in some places as shown in the photos, as well as slight abrasion on the fabric.
*The small white dots are part of the pattern and are not holes.
Antique and older vintage haori may show signs of wear consistent with their age. Visible flaws are described and photographically documented as accurately as possible.
Even though the fabric is generally well-preserved, it may be more delicate than modern textiles due to its age. Please therefore avoid strong pulling, friction, and overly tight fits.
Please keep in mind when purchasing that these are older or antique one-of-a-kind pieces.
