Bamboo Wave All-over Shibori Vintage Kimono Jacket

· Bamboo Wave Shibori Vintage Kimono Jacket · 'Shibori' is a special dyeing technique used in Japanese kimonos and haoris. Its intricate process creates a raised, three-dimensional texture in the dyed areas. · When the entire fabric surface is treated with the shibori technique, it's called 'All-over Shibori', which is the most labor-intensive and time-consuming. During production, the fabric is first roughly divided into pattern areas. The sections intended for shibori are tied using special methods, while the untied parts are dyed with the base color. Afterward, the tied sections are hand-colored or dyed again... · The pattern on this piece depicts bamboo leaves and ripples. Whether they represent ocean waves or the sound of wind rustling through bamboo groves remains a mystery. · The item is well-preserved, but the silk lining has old yellow stains from long storage that could not be removed even after professional cleaning. While this does not affect wearability, it is reflected in the price. · Material: Silk. · The actual color of the item is best represented by the mannequin photo (the details in the back may appear inaccurate due to lighting conditions, such as being placed on tatami mats, under indoor white light, or during twilight). · Measurements: Shoulder: Free Sleeve Length: 45cm Total Length: 85cm
