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.

Bold botanical forms wind across this reversible obi fabric in warm orange and creamy white, giving the design a wonderfully graphic, mid-century feel. Large heart-shaped leaves are rendered with intricate woven veins and lace-like interiors, connected by slender curling vines and smaller clusters of leaves that travel through angular geometric lines. The contrast between the delicate leaf details and strong zigzagging structure gives the continuous pattern a lively rhythm, while the reversible weave shifts the balance of orange and white for a distinctly different look on either side.

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…?
