| DESCRIPTION: A Kyoto Nishijin silk brocade obi of the highest quality, very heavy, with gold metallic thread throughout, giving a luxurious sheen to the overall design. The design is a repeating pattern of a Japanese garden with pavilions among pines, flowering prunus and chrysanthemums, wrought in colors of greens, browns, gold and splashes of white for the flowers. This obi is a maru style; the oldest, biggest and the most sumptuous made. Because the design is woven throughout on both sides, it was very costly even as new. Because of its bulk and weight, assistance was needed in order to tie it. This extraordinary obi is in perfect, like new, mint condition. DIMENSIONS: 11.5” w x 152” long. Price: Sold at the Miami Beach Show, Thanks Stock #TX40 |
