This listing is for a full bolt of traditional Japanese fabric intended to be worn as a casual hakata-style obi sash. These bolts are wonderfully versatile - they can be tied as a kimono belt, unrolled as an elegant table runner, or repurposed into entirely new creations.

Soft pink, gray, and black come together in this wonderfully retro woven obi fabric, pairing a graceful floral ribbon with crisp racing stripes. A continuous band of stylized three-petal blossoms winds through delicate scrolling vines and tiny flowers, while parallel cream and black stripes run alongside for a bold geometric contrast. The flowers have a charming mid-century simplicity, and the combination of florals and strong linear elements gives the fabric a distinctly modern feel despite its traditional woven construction.

The pattern continues for the full length of the fabric, with exposed threads visible on the reverse from the weaving process. The full-length piece could be used as an obi or repurposed for sewing and textile projects.

Signs of age are present, including wear, fading, and a visible fold line.

The fabric is a substantial weave that is both pliable and sturdy – perfect tied into a bow at the back of a kimono, and just as perfect as a table runner or wall décor. Plenty of fabric to convert into home décor (pillows!) or an elegant jacket or coat…?
