Japanese Obi, Ox Cart, Music Instruments, Fans
Beautiful Japanese maru obi! Obis can be used as a belt to hold a kimono together. The classic design from the Heian Period (794-1192AD) of ox carts, fans and court music instruments run throughout the front and back. The gold is woven into the fabric almost entirely and sparkles when it is hit by light – it has much gentler tones in the dark. The earth tone green and rusty brown are particularly pretty on this obi. With a thick padding inside, this obi will make a great decoration piece for your wall, dining room table, etc. Condition is excellent – probably worn for a special occasion only once. The measurements are 12"wide and 159" long.
