Description

This listing is for a heko obi -- an informal version often worn with a casual kimono. They are typically just wound around the waist a few times and tied in a simple bow in the back. It's a very popular style for men but can also be worn by women - either with a kimono or as a scarf or shawl over the shoulders on a cool evening.

Heko obi are wide, very long, single layers of silk with shibori patterning on each end. This heko obi is a deep indigo blue and at each end is a mountain and cloud landscape design created with thousands of tiny shibori dots.

The design is obvious even with the tightly puckered shibori, but some folks iron out the ends so that the pattern is even more clear.
