This is a lovely Japanese kimono obi (Nagoya-style) with a roundel design done via the rice paste-resist stenciling technique (katazome). It is made of a thick, nubby, handspun silk fabric--first dyed a soft beige-yellow, then the design was stencil-dyed over this. The multi-colored dyes (vermillion red, violet purple, ocher yellow-gold, and indigo blue--were applied by hand in a style that recalls Okinawan stencil-dyeing; a second color--for shading--was applied to some of the roundels. There are 100 inches of continuous stenciled design (approx. 80% of total length). Approximately 50-60 years old. Measurements: 138 in. long; 12 in. wide. Condition: no stains or other damage. Dyes are brilliant and shows no signs of wear. The seam holding the folded part (this is a Nagoya-style obi) has been taken out, and so the obi can be displayed flat, as one continuous panel. THIS ITEM IS AVAILABLE. PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS |
