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. 

Striking contrast defines this vintage hakata obi fabric bolt, opening with a deep black background that is patterned with vivid orange geometric bands that pulse with rhythm and texture. The repeating motifs are created through structured weaving rather than surface decoration, giving the pattern depth and durability while maintaining a bold graphic presence. Confident and timeless with a fiery palette flair!

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…?
