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 tied as a kimono belt, unrolled as an elegant table runner, or repurposed into entirely new creations.

Oversized peacock feathers sweep across this striking obi fabric in vivid red and silvery white, creating a dramatic design that feels both glamorous and retro. Fine woven lines build each feather from hundreds of delicate barbs, while distinctive "heart" markings emerge throughout the overlapping plumes, giving the pattern wonderful movement and texture.

Peacock feathers are associated with beauty, dignity, prosperity, and splendor, an especially fitting motif for such an exuberant textile. The reversible woven construction exchanges the dominant red and silvery-white areas for two dramatically different presentations.

The fabric is a continuous full length with a reversible woven design and could be used as an obi.

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