We create our Japanique Tapestries by upcycling what we can when other sections of the garment are beyond repair or rescue. This listing is for a wall hanging tapestry made from a vintage obi belt.

Softly shimmering and full of quiet detail, this tapestry brings together woven florals and birds in a layered silver and cream palette that feels elegant and refined. The design is arranged in a patchwork of traditional patterns, with circular medallions revealing cranes and ducks nestled among blossoms. Cranes are symbols of longevity and good fortune, while ducks represent partnership and harmony. The monochromatic silver tones give the piece a gentle glow rather than bold contrast, letting the intricate weaving and pattern work take center stage.

It comes ready to hang with a sturdy cardboard rod (formerly the cardboard core of a kimono fabric bolt) and cording - both easily removable and replaceable to suit your space. 

Our Japanique Tapestries transform salvaged imagery from kimono, haori, or obi into striking displays that highlight the original artistry, including dye work, embroidery, hand painting, and woven patterns. These textiles preserve history while fitting beautifully into modern spaces. No two are alike, each one carries its own story, texture, and character.
