This print showcases a Jinbaori, a traditional sleeveless jacket worn by samurai in Japan during the early 18th century. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its already intriguing design. The Jinbaori was specifically crafted with a rear vent, allowing it to be comfortably worn over armor while the wearer was on horseback. This practical feature demonstrates the garment's functionality and purpose for samurai warriors during that era. The exquisite details of this Jinbaori are truly awe-inspiring. The band of silk plain oblique interlacing is adorned with attached wooden beads, creating an eye-catching decorative element. Additionally, the edges are beautifully finished with fur and silk plain weaves embellished with secondary plain interlacings. Embroidered with delicate silk cord and gold thread, this jacket exudes opulence and sophistication. Its lining consists of luxurious silk and gilt paper strips satin weave with intricate patterns created by supplementary patterning wefts. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's art gallery, this artifact represents not only Japanese heritage but also serves as a testament to exceptional craftsmanship from centuries past. It is a visual reminder of Japan's rich cultural history and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the beauty found within traditional clothing designs.
