This listing is for a vintage bolo tie purchased from Japan. Bolo ties were a hot item in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s when the rockabilly trend was embraced and modified to showcase Japanese artistry.

This striking bolo tie features traditional Japanese Hakone Yosegi wood inlay, a meticulous parquetry art form from the Hakone region known for its geometric mosaics created from naturally colored woods fitted together without paint or stain. Paired with dark navy cording and presented in its original box, the intricate optical illusion pattern gives this piece a refined artisan feel that blends Japanese craftsmanship with vintage western style.
