About this piece
An orange koi leaping through blue waves under cherry blossom, with stars in the black
The koi on this haori is big, orange, and halfway out of the water. It leaps up the centre of the back through waves drawn in three blues and white, scales printed one by one, fins spread, with a second koi surfacing at the hem below it and a third drawn as a dark shadow at the shoulders, as if still under the surface. Cherry blossom hangs over the scene in pink with green leaves. Red tassels, the kind tied to festival lanterns, swing among the branches. And across the black between the waves, small white stars and sparkles, so the water seems to be happening at night.
It is a print in the style of a Japanese festival banner, bright, outlined, and cheerful, and it is the one in the haori range that people who like anime and games tend to pick first. The colours are pure: orange, pink, blue, red, white on black. Nothing is muted.
The name, Hoshizora, means starry sky, and it names the part of the print most people miss at first: the stars scattered across the black, which turn a koi pond into a night scene.
It is printed, not embroidered, with the blues of the water kept separate and the orange of the fish kept flat and bright. The cloth is polyester with a smooth surface and a dry hand, chosen because black must stay black and orange must stay orange through washing, and because a haori for summer nights should weigh nothing. Three-quarter sleeves, open front with a flat band, no fastening, hem at the hip.
At three metres it is an orange fish on a black jacket with blue at the sleeves and the hem. At thirty centimetres the blossom has stamens, the tassels have threads, and the shadow koi at the shoulder appears. It is drawn for a crowd, and it works in one.
The cut is a short open haori, square at the shoulder and relaxed through the body, with the waves running onto both fronts and the sleeves so the print continues when the jacket is worn open. Over a white tee, the white column and the white foam rhyme. Over black, the fish and the blossom float on one dark shape. It goes with black trousers, dark denim, and nothing else patterned.
Sizes run from M to 5XL. It is cut to Asian sizing and runs small, so take one size up from your usual. Between two sizes, take the larger.
Questions about the haori
Is a haori the same as a kimono jacket?
Close cousins. A haori is the short coat worn open over a kimono in Japan. Ours keep that shape, a flat front band, wide three-quarter sleeves and a hem at the hip, and are cut to sit over a T-shirt. A kimono jacket is the same idea with a plainer edge and, often, a tie or toggle.
Does it run small?
Yes. Our pieces are cut to Asian sizing, which runs smaller than US sizing. Between two sizes, take the larger. Measurements taken flat are in the size guide.
Is it silk?
No. Every haori in this collection is polyester, as stated on its page and on the inner label. We never sell silk as something else, or something else as silk.
Is it made in Japan?
No. It is a Japanese design, made in Asia. We say so on every page.
How do I wear it?
Open, over a plain T-shirt, with denim or dark trousers, and nothing else patterned: the print is the point. Three-quarter sleeves make it a spring-to-autumn layer, and a knit underneath carries it into the first cold weeks.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash cold, inside out, with similar colours. Hang to dry. Iron on low, inside out over any print.
What we sell, and what we don't
Japanese designs, made in Asia. Cotton, linen or polyester as stated on each piece, never silk. We say so on every page, because the alternative is selling you a word instead of a garment.
