Mystical Black HAORI with Flowers and Shi-Shi Lion
Wear this haori for a special evening and these lovely lacquer designs will glow in the moonlight.
Upon the soft crepes of the black surface, peonies and hemp flowers sparkle in gold, silver, crimson and forest green lacquer that seems to shine from within. A mythical shi-shi dragon dances along the bottom in deep burgundy.
Decorative folding fans of luxurious gold appear in the silky lining.
