A Beautiful Warm Toned Sakiori Obi: Subtle Color Shifts
mid twentieth century
122" x 8", 310 cm x 20.25 cm
This is a lovely sakiori obi, or a rustic, traditional kimono sash that is woven using shredded cloth as its weft yarn.
The warp yarns are black-dyed cotton; the weft yarns are of subtle color shift--they are olive green, steel grey, white and a olive-brown color, the olive-brown and olive-green colors change almost unnoticeably along the length of the obi.
The overall look of this obi is wonderfully subtle both in terms of its coloration and its texture.
This lovely obi is in very good condition, with no visible stains or holes.
A beautiful, elegant folk textile.
