ANTIQUE SILK HAORI JACKET・SHION 紫苑

SHION 紫苑 / Purple Aster

SHION (Purple Aster) is an elegant antique silk haori in a rich, vibrant purple, with a subtle woven pattern that adds depth and texture to the fabric. Sourced directly from Japan and dating back to the Taisho to early Showa era (circa 1920s–1930s), this rare masterpiece beautifully embodies the Taisho Roman movement—a historic golden age defined by a daring fusion of traditional craftsmanship and avant-garde, graphic styling.

SHION (Purple Aster) is an elegant antique silk haori in a rich, vibrant purple, with a subtle woven pattern that adds depth and texture to the fabric. Its beautifully simple exterior is contrasted by a distinctive inner lining in soft beige, ivory, and touches of vivid orange. The name Shion, meaning “Purple Aster,” reflects the graceful beauty and refined character of this piece. Bold yet sophisticated, this haori makes a striking statement when styled with both traditional kimono and contemporary clothing.

Each garment is carefully sourced in Japan and selected for its craftsmanship, texture, and individuality. As a true antique piece, no two are ever the same.

As with all antique garments, subtle signs of wear or variation, minor fabric variations, tiny threads, or soft color fading may be present and are part of its unique character and the story of owning a piece of genuine Japanese history.
