Kage-Bana (影花) – Shadow Blossom Haori

An ode to subtle beauty and quiet luxury. Kage-Bana is crafted from lustrous black rinzū silk jacquard, its tone-on-tone floral damask revealing itself only when caught by the light — blossoms woven in shadow and sheen. The smooth silk glides softly with movement, while the full white silk lining offers a sharp, luminous contrast that flashes at the collar and sleeves.
Entirely hand-finished with traditional himo loops and invisible seams, this haori embodies refined restraint — a piece that speaks through texture, not colour.
Likely from the mid-Shōwa era (circa 1950s–1970s), it reflects a period when formal silk workmanship combined classical motifs with immaculate finishes.
Elegant, formal, and timeless, Kage-Bana captures the essence of Japanese sophistication: simplicity that unfolds into quiet depth.
