Japanese vintage obi belt
for lady's kimono
Japanese traditional sash belt for kimono - OBI with
lavish use of gold and silver threads are important kimono
accessories. These long sumptuous sashes were often given
more attention than the kimono themselves. They were frequently
more expensive.
'Fukuro' type obi were slightly less formal them
'maru' type, and first appeared in the late 1920s.
Because only one side was brocaded they were less expensive
than 'maru' both sides brocaded obi sash. Japanese
vintage and antique obi can be used as fabulous table runners,
or runners for credenzas or hang it as wall decoration and
so on, according your own ways to display these luxurious
Japanese textile.
This is 'fukuro' sash belt with lovely butterflies
and golden mists with hexagonal pattern that symbolizes
tortoise-shell as good wishes symbol of fortune and prosperity
on black silk background. Inner side of the obi is black
colored silk. Early 1950's.
Excellent conditions.
