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.

A lush garden of oversized peonies and decorative vessels gives this reversible obi fabric a bold, almost mid-century botanical look in warm orange and creamy white. The woven design layers full peony blossoms with sweeping leaves, delicate sprays of foliage, and smaller flowers, punctuated by ornamental vases decorated with fine geometric bands.

Peonies are traditionally associated with prosperity, beauty, and good fortune, while the elegant floral arrangement reinforces the feeling of richness and abundance. The reverse shifts the color balance for a lighter, more silvery-white interpretation of the same woven pattern.

The fabric is a continuous full length and could be used as an obi.

Signs of age are present, including scattered blemishes and a visible fold line.

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…?
