Vintage Color Haori - Shibori Purple Tachibana -

●The Tachibana (Japanese wild citrus) motif is a highly auspicious traditional pattern that symbolizes longevity and prosperity for future generations. In ancient Japan, the tachibana tree was believed to grow in the legendary land of eternal youth and immortality. Because it remains green throughout the year, it has long been regarded as a symbol of eternity, vitality, and enduring life. The tachibana belongs to the citrus family, and its charming heart-shaped leaves and small fruit are beautifully stylized in traditional Japanese design. ● Shibori is a traditional Japanese resist-dyeing technique in which fabric is bound with thread or clamped using special tools before dyeing. These protected areas resist the dye, creating beautiful three-dimensional patterns unique to each piece. Because every fold and tie is done by hand, no two shibori designs are ever exactly the same. The outer fabric is in good condition, while the lining shows multiple stains.
