A man's haori in quiet grey green tsumugi that keeps its real picture on the inside: a lining of Edo lovers in the manner of shunga.
The Piece
Ura-masari, the idea that the inside should outshine the outside, shaped Japanese menswear for centuries: the outer haori stayed sober, and the wit and mischief went into the lining.
The outside is hige tsumugi, a slubbed weave with short dark flecks, like whiskers, on a grey green ground. A single crest of three leaves in a ring is embroidered at the centre back, a nui mon. Inside, the back lining carries a pictorial panel of a man and a woman in a close embrace, drawn in the style of Edo shunga, her kimono in rose pink patterned with flowers, the panel fading to lavender towards the hem. The haori ties are not included. A piece for the adult collector.
Details
- Type: Men's haori
- Weave: Hige tsumugi, slubbed
- Colour: Grey green with dark flecks
- Crest: One embroidered crest, nui mon, at the centre back
- Lining: Pictorial panel of Edo lovers in the shunga manner, fading to lavender
- Measurements: yuki (centre back to cuff) 69 cm (27.2 in), length from the shoulder 85.5 cm (33.7 in), sleeve length 47 cm (18.5 in), back width 30 cm (11.8 in). Every measurement is taken by hand, with the piece laid flat and the tape read by eye, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1–3 cm (0.5–1 in) for the natural give of fabric, handwork and the human hand.
Condition
An older piece with honest age. The outer weave shows overall fading and scattered stains across the body, and there is general wear from use. The lining picture remains clear.
Condition grade C (heavily used) on the Japanese scale; see Japanese condition ranks, explained.
Authenticity & Care
Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee. Have it cleaned by a kimono specialist, air it on a kimono hanger out of direct sun, and fold it along its seams for storage.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Japan and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
