A Sakiori Obi: Bold Stripes in Black and Saturated Colors

mid twentieth century
132" x 10 3/4", 335.5 cm x 27 cm

This is a beautifully designed and colored sakiori obi, a sakiori obi being a rustic, traditional kimono sash that is woven using shredded cotton cloth as its weft yarn.

With its bold, regularly-spaced black bars and its saturated color tones of various hues this sakori obi is especially interesting and somewhat unusual in its design.

The condition is good and used and the colors are still dense, rich and bright.

An especially good sakiori obi.
