Beautiful authentic vintage Japanese fukuro obi, purchased by me approximately 10 years ago.
A striking traditional Japanese textile featuring a repeating geometric kikkō-style hexagonal design with ornate floral/crest motifs, woven in metallic gold and silver with vibrant turquoise, pink, red and black detailing.
The reverse/lining is a rich burnt orange, creating a beautiful contrast with the highly decorative metallic front.
A substantial woven textile with a wonderful sheen and an especially unusual colour combination.
Condition: Vintage/pre-owned condition with signs of age, storage and previous use as would be expected from a traditional vintage textile. Please examine all photographs carefully as these form part of the description.
Approx. 30cm wide x 410cm
