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.

Sleek and quietly bold, this tapestry turns an abstract woven design into a statement of movement and balance, with flowing bands of gold, silver, and soft ivory gliding across the surface. The design feels almost like a stylized river or shifting cloudscape, where the curves guide the eye in a calm, continuous rhythm. This kind of abstract patterning is tied to themes of fluidity and harmony, suggesting water, change, and the passage of time.

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.
