The rinzu silk haori is a masterpiece with an intricate shibori rivulets-patterned background and hand-pigment-dyed fan motifs, including silk and metallic inserts with embroidery highlights. Measuring 49 inches (122 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 39 inches (97 cm) in height, this garment is a result of remarkable craftsmanship.

Here's the detailed process involved in creating this exceptional haori:

• Step 1: An off-white figured silk cloth with fan motifs is crafted.
• Step 2: Approximately 40,000 shibori-preparation threads are inserted into the fabric, which is then dyed in a dark greenish-blue hue. Removing these stitches produces an intricate rivulets pattern.
• Step 3: A smoky effect is achieved by lightly adding a brownish pigment to certain areas.
• Step 4: Hand-painting the figured-silk fans with a dark-green pigment results in a unique texture, being the only cloth seen with this technique of pigmenting a rinzu base with the same motif.
• Step 5: The prepared cloth is meticulously cut and hand-stitched into the haori.
• Step 6: The final touches include the addition of gold metallic thread inserts, gold metallic embroidery, silk sagara embroidery highlights, and a single mon (family crest) silk embroidered with fine silver metallic embroidered highlights at the upper center back.
