This haori showcases a striking design on a deep burgundy background, featuring a dramatic central motif of a white cockatoo alongside stylized floral elements. The composition exemplifies the Japanese design principle of "kire-ji" or striking visual impact, combined with elegant restraint. The cockatoo is rendered in a dynamic pose with spread wings, demonstrating masterful use of the "iki"(sophisticated simplicity) aesthetic.

The floral elements include stylized plum blossoms (ume) in gold and orange tones, and a peony branch rendered with naturalistic detail. The overall arrangement follows the Japanese principle of asymmetrical balance, with the scattered placement of motifs creating a sense of natural, flowing movement across the garment's surface. The yuzen technique is evident in the detailed rendering of the cockatoo and flowers. The use of surihaku (gold-foil application)outlining enhances the elegance and sophistication of the patterns, adding a subtle shimmer to the overall design.

The color palette is particularly refined, with the deep burgundy background providing a rich canvas for the white cockatoo, while the gold, orange, and green accents create points of visual interest without overwhelming the composition. The design shows influence from the Rinpa school's decorative techniques, particularly in its bold use of negative space and stylized natural elements. While the haori's design is firmly rooted in traditional Japanese aesthetics, it also exhibits a subtle affinity with certain aspects of Art Nouveau. The flowing lines of the cockatoo's wings and crest, and the stylized, organic forms of the flowers resonate with the Art Nouveau emphasis on natural forms and decorative elegance. However, unlike the often opulent and elaborate designs of Art Nouveau, the haori's design maintains a sense of restraint and subtlety that is characteristic of Japanese aesthetics. The overall impression of the haori is one of serene beauty and quiet elegance, with a touch of exoticism.

Its measurements are 49 inches (124 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and a height of 33 inches (84 cm).
