Shown here is a sakiori obi, which is a traditional kimono sash that has been woven from a weft of shredded, recycled cloth.
The warp yarns are very fine and are black in color. This black warp adds a richness of color to the obi.
The weft rag yarns are in a good variety of colors, some mottled, some clear. The weft yarns are fed in narrow bands which gives a lovely variegated quality to the kimono sash.
A beautifully toned sakiori obi in good, used condition appropriate with its age.
An especially good sakiori obi.
