mid twentieth century

This is a richly multi-colored and woven sakiori obi, or a traditional kimono sash that is woven using shredded cloth as its weft yarn. 

The warp yarns on this obi are white in color.  The weft yarns--thin, shredded rags--are fairly evenly spaced bars in shades of many colors, some mottled.

This hand woven sakiori obi is in used condition, with some snags to the surface (shown on detail photos here) and is a very handsome example of a traditional, sakiori weaving.

This is an elegantly colored, beautifully woven folk textile.
