mid twentieth century

This is a lovely, deeply colored sakiori obi, or a rustic, traditional kimono sash that is woven using shredded cloth as its weft yarn.

The warp yarns are cotton and are dyed an almost-black shade of brown.  The weft yarns could be silk and are mottled shades of grey/brown and purple, the result being a blurred field of deeply colored ragweave.

This handsome obi is in good, used condition with just a hint of surface abrasion.

A handsomely colored folk textile.
