This obi-age is a versatile and comfortable alternative to a traditional obi. With a delightful texture and shape, it would make a stylish belt, sash, scarf or shawl to compliment any outfit.
This rich autumn orange obi-age is covered in textural tie-dye that stretches to reveal white dots. Exotic flowers of sparkling fuchsia and yellow feature silver outline. The fabric remains smooth damask at the tips, displaying chrysanthemums upon a geometric pattern.
