Red Meisen Silk Kimono Jacket-Bold Abstract

Wear your joy like this refashioned meisen haori jacket—bold red and mustard patches on cream that practically demand a twirl.  Pure happiness in silk form.

• Artisan Silks Meisen silk became the rage around 1920's with its bold, modern designs and its durable silk construction, using the newly acquired Western techniques for strengthening short silk strands.  Amazingly, the threads are dyed before they are woven, resulting in slightly fuzzy lines.  
  
• Universal Sizing   The jacket is a long 34.5 inches with 23.5 inches between the shoulder seams and 24 inches from the back seam to the sleeve hem
  
• Vintage Condition   The vintage condition is very good except for some pinholes and discoloration on a sleeve.
• Reversible   The lining is an artful, hand painted silk with silver and pink leaves.  The jacket transforms into a completely new garment when worn inside out. 
• One of a Kind  Unless the mass production of the West, the Japanese used new technologies to be more creative, making each garment one at a time as a treasured work of art. 
• Colorful Design  Bold abstract patches of red, yellow, black on cream background
