This rinzu silk haori features an intricate shibori rivulets-patterned background adorned with hand-pigment-dyed fan motifs, accentuated by silk and metallic inserts and embroidery highlights. Measuring 49 inches (122 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at 39 inches (97 cm) in height, this seemingly unassuming garment is a testament to the work of sophisticated and talented artists.

The creation process of this remarkable jacket involved several elaborate steps. Step 1 began with the creation of a bolt of off-white figured silk featuring fan motifs. Step 2 saw the insertion of shibori-preparation threads in approximately 40,000 locations on the bolt, followed by dyeing it a dark greenish-blue color and removing the stitches, resulting in an overall rivulets pattern. Step 3 introduced a smoky effect by lightly adding a brownish pigment over areas.

Step 4 involved hand-painting the figured-silk fans with a dark-green pigment, a technique rarely seen of pigmenting a rinzu base with the same motif, creating a complex texture. Step 5 comprised cutting and hand-stitching the bolt of cloth into the haori. Finally, Step 6 added gold metallic thread inserts, gold metallic embroidery, and silk sagara embroidery highlights. The single mon (family crest) at the upper center back is silk embroidered with fine silver metallic embroidered highlights, adding a touch of sophistication to this exquisite garment.
