Description
This
is a gorgeous maro obi (a kind of obi in which the design runs along the full length of the fabric along both sides!) in taupe a design of folding fans with mated cranes, pine, maple, and mums (symbolizing autumn and winter, the designs on this suggesting gracefully growing old together). This was a more ‘everyday’ style of obi and lacks the lavish metallic gold and silver threads found in more formal obi.
This vintage piece has some age patina, creasing, and some marks or discoloration, but it is in excellent condition and would be suitable for wearing or use as a decorative hanging.
What
to do with this other than wrapping it around your kimono? You can drape it on
the wall, make gorgeous cushions out of it, make a very chic table runner or place mats, use it in a garment, and more! Check out our FB page, Beautiful
Textiles, for some ideas.
About 13″
wide, 148″ long. Silk.
