Japanese kimono fabric--help dating

Joyride Vintage

Attached are two photos of a beautiful silk kimono / haori jacket I recently acquired. The duppioni silk looks fairly old to me, 1920's to 1040's perhaps? The design has an art deco look to it, but I am not familiar enough with Asian prints or fabrics to make an educated guess.

I do notice that the flowers have either boxes or stripes through them, sections where the weaving was changed to vary the colors. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated!

Here are two photos of the garment turned inside out to expose the inside fabric better

The Ichiroya website had many lovely examples of kimono's, unfortunately they don't get any more specific with dating than 'vintage' or 'very old'.
