This listing is for a full bolt of traditional Japanese fabric intended to be made into a hakata style casual obi sash.  This style is sometimes sold in half-width (called a hanhaba hakata obi) and is popular for men and women to wear with a casual kimono or yukata. 

Soft yet graphic, this vintage pink hakata obi bolt offers a refined balance of elegance and modern design, opening with a gentle blush tone that immediately draws the eye. Woven geometric bands run the full length of the bolt, giving it a continuous rhythm that feels both traditional and contemporary. A versatile textile with timeless appeal!

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