Man's Formal Jacket (Haori)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Man's Formal Jacket (Haori) is a traditional Japanese garment. The jacket has a black base color on the bottom half. The top half of the jacket is tan with black rectangles on each side. The back of the jacket features a large rectangular design with a black background. In the center of the design is a large white mountain, likely Mount Fuji. The mountain is depicted with a cityscape at its base. The cityscape includes trees and buildings in shades of brown, beige, and black. The sleeves are short and wide, with a slight curve at the edge. The jacket has a small collar and appears to be made of fabric. The background of the image is gray.
