A Sakiori Obi: Muted Colors and Subtle Stripes
$95.00 USD
early to mid twentieth century
120" x 12", 305 cm x 30.5 cm
Shown here is wide and subtly toned sakiori obi, which is a traditional kimono sash that has been woven from a black colored cotton warp and a weft of shredded, recycled cottons.
The rag weft yarn is arranged in beautifully colored, regularly spaced bars of color, ordered in regular stripes
The white, teal and olive tones of the rag weft play wonderfully off each other and create a very handsome yet subtle color story on this utilitarian, hand woven textile.
A nice example of a sakiori obi for its low contrast, tonal color and its good, used condition.
