This silk haori features a vibrant olive-green ground adorned with vertical bands of white shibori-dyed pine-tree motifs, creating soft, cloud-like clusters that evoke misty forests through resist-dyeing techniques where fabric sections are bound and dyed to produce blurred, organic edges; interspersed among these are striking ikat-woven parrots in rich earth tones of brown, blue, green, and white, their forms repeated symmetrically across the garment with characteristic feathery fringes and subtle color shifts from the pre-dyed threads, perched on implied branches, adding a lively focal point to the otherwise subtle patterning.

Evoking the modernist tendencies of the Showa period's textile arts, which blended traditional Japanese craftsmanship with emerging global influences like Art Deco's geometric stylization and exotic motifs, this piece showcases the intricate e-gasuri (pictorial ikat) technique for the parrots, where warp and weft threads are meticulously bound in specific sections, resist-dyed in patterns, and then woven with precise alignment on the loom to form detailed, localized images despite the inherent blurring—achieved through careful planning and sometimes double ikat methods to synchronize colors across threads; the pine motifs symbolize eternal youth, longevity, and steadfastness in the face of adversity, rooted in classical Japanese iconography, while the parrots introduce an element of exotic whimsy, possibly representing eloquence, companionship, or the allure of foreign lands amid Japan's interwar cultural exchanges, harmonizing nature's resilience with playful innovation in everyday attire.

It measures 49 inches (124 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 37 inches (94 cm) in height.
