A Wide and Long Multi-Colored Sakiori Obi: Small Snag

$135.00 USD

mid twentieth century
119" x 10 1/2", 302 cm x 26.5 cm

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

The warp yarns are of pale blue and medium grey colored cotton which lends a richness of tone to the overall multi-colored appearance of this obi.  The weft yarns are randomly spaced bars of many saturated colors, a good number of them are of rich tones of orange and blue.

This very good looking obi is in good, used condition: it shows an ingrained crease along its length in the middle of the obi and one small frayed area, the size of a bean.

A beautiful, exuberantly colored folk textile.
