As told in the Chinese legend, this obi shows graceful phoenixes flying atop the blooming paulownia tree, heralding the arrival of a true king, with wide open wings expressing joy and happiness.
Accented with an elegantly subdued palette of gray, brown and green, with little specks of gold rendering clouds, this understated sand toned obi is a fine complement to kimono and home decor with refined taste.
