Floating down the length of the piece, large roses appear in a marvelous cerise tone, and spreading from the gorgeous blossoms are beautiful leaves that shine with illuminated silver thread.
This obi really does display such sophisticated, chic imagery and colors. Wear it with any kimono for a wonderful look.
The lining and 40 percent of the front side have no patterns as these areas will not appear when the obi is worn in the traditional manner.
