Teal Kanoko Ripple Haori

A deep teal-green silk haori crafted using the meticulous kanoko shibori technique — a traditional Japanese tie-dye method in which countless tiny sections of fabric are bound by hand before dyeing. The result is a delicate pattern of white diamond-like dots across the surface, creating a raised, textured effect reminiscent of rippling water or dappled light on stone.
This haori embodies the quiet artistry and patience of shibori craftsmanship, where every tie and release marks the hand of its maker.
Likely from the mid-Showa era (circa 1950s–1970s), it reflects a period when classic dyeing techniques were revived with renewed sophistication and expressive colour.
A serene and tactile piece — graceful in form, intricate in detail, and timeless in its beauty.
