This listing is for a full bolt of traditional Japanese fabric intended to be made into an obi sash. These bolts are wonderfully versatile (and reversible!) - they can be as a kimono belt, unrolled as an elegant table runner, or repurposed into entirely new creations.

A bold wash of crimson and light, this vintage obi fabric bolt stops you in your tracks with its dramatic open weave and graphic floral geometry. Originally woven to be tailored into a formal or decorative obi, the airy structure creates depth, shadow, and movement as the fabric rolls and unfolds. The vivid red color paired with the lace-like construction makes it equally compelling as a wearable obi or as a statement textile for creative reuse. Traditional intent with modern versatility!

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…?
