Haori

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haori

Haori ( Japanese. 羽 織 , literally: " feather fabric ") is a kimono overcoat in the style of a jacket that goes up to hip or thigh height . It ensures more formality and was previously decorated with the corresponding family coat of arms ( Mon ) or the emblem of the Dōjō . Haori were originally reserved for men only, but fashion changed at the end of the Meiji period . Today, Haori are worn by both men and women, with women's jackets mostly being longer.

The best-known form of the Haori is the kuro montsuki ( 黒 紋 付 (き) , dt. "Black, coat of arms attached"), completely black and only provided with the white family coat of arms, mainly reserved for funerals and official occasions.
