THE BLUE DRAGON
Piece Unique
Long silk Jacket
This coat was , before I transform it , a traditional Japanese Haori jacket for man , from 1940s/50s.
Originally , this side with the blue dragons and the greens stripe was the lining ( silk ).
Haori seams are blind stitched , it is possible to turn the inside to outside
The Haori is a jacket which is worn over the kimono by men and women to go outside.
Men Haori are very neutral , sobers, grey or black , brown , indigo , when many Hoari for women are bright , colorful with exuberant patterns.
But inside these neutral appearances , the decorative linings indicate the interests of the men who wear them : if they love poetry , theater , painting , history , country , where they are born , etc...
Honestly , I have to say I don't know , because I don't find , the signification of this battle between the Blue Dragon and the Shishi Lion
The grey fabric is silk woven grey and black .
This silk is an Oshima-Tsumugi who is one of the most expensive brand.
Originally , this silk is very stiff .
To break this stiffness , I washed by hand 4 times this Haori , to transform the silk in a supple fabric , and by this way , I changed its shape.
After this first step , I transformed the large Kimono sleeves in balloon sleeves .
I ornate it with embossed aluminium , traditional Turkmen / Afghan / Indian ornaments sewn on garments.
To close it , a thin vintage velvet ribbon.
