A Wide and Handsome Sakiori Obi: Brown Tones
$95.00 USD
mid twentieth century
120" x 11 1/4", 305 cm x 73.5 cm
This is a good looking and quite wide sakiori obi, or a rustic, traditional kimono sash that is woven using shredded cotton cloth as its weft yarn.
Its coloration is based in bars of tones of mottled greys, blacks and browns which are unified by a black cotton warp.
The weight is nice and sturdy and the condition is good and used, with no stains or weakness to the material.
A beautiful, richly toned folk textile in a fairly unusual color palette--and a good example of a sakiori obi in an unusually generous width.
