This is a wall art made with a vintage silk broad sash called "Obi".

An "Obi" is a broad sash worn around the waist with kimono. Both women and men wear it but women's obi is wider and more decorative, so we use mostly women's Obi for our creations. 

This wall art is filled with famous Japanese animals and plants that are all commonly used in Japanese traditional garments. The first square shows two cranes flying over the water surrounded by pines, bamboo leaves, and plum blossoms. The second square shows chrysanthemums and a simple plaid pattern with golden threads. It feels like looking out of two little windows into Japanese landscapes. With the usage of shiny threads, the whole obi has a glossy look, thus giving an elegant finish.

This obi is "Nishijin Ori" which means the traditional textile produced in the Nishijin district in Kyoto and originated over 1200 years ago. They typically feature brilliantly dyed silk interwoven with lavish gold and silver threads into complex and skillful patterns and are often worn on very special occasions such as a wedding. We have taken the most decorative part of the obi to create this wall art. 

The fabrics we use are in excellent condition, though sometimes there are small marks, blemishes, and or creases indicative of the fabric's rich history. If you have any questions or concerns, please send us a message. 

Material: Vintage Silk Obi, wood and cotton canvas

Size:  11" (28 cm) x 11" (28 cm)
