We create our Japanique Tapestries by upcycling what we can when other sections of the garment are beyond repair or rescue. This listing is for a wall hanging tapestry made from a vintage obi belt.

Warm and radiant, this tapestry pairs a rich orange, open-weave background with delicate woven florals and tiny birds drifting across the surface. The small birds in flight add movement and lightness, often symbolizing freedom, happiness, or good news in Japanese design. The motifs create a balanced scene of nature in motion, like petals carried on a warm breeze. 

It comes ready to hang with a sturdy cardboard rod (formerly the cardboard core of a kimono fabric bolt) and cording - both easily removable and replaceable to suit your space. 

Our Japanique Tapestries transform salvaged imagery from kimono, haori, or obi into striking displays that highlight the original artistry, including dye work, embroidery, hand painting, and woven patterns. These textiles preserve history while fitting beautifully into modern spaces. No two are alike, each one carries its own story, texture, and character.
