Description

Vintage Japanese Obi (SKU 25S-547-10)

Showa-era fukuro obi with elegant landscape and floral brocade in warm autumnal tones.

This vintage Japanese obi is woven in a refined fukuro style, featuring sweeping bands of landscape motifs that recall classic yamato-e painting. Chrysanthemums, pines, and stylized garden pavilions emerge from a soft beige ground, rendered in rich rust, persimmon, and deep brown threads accented with metallic gold for a subtle, luxurious sheen.

Originally worn with formal kimono, this 1950s Showa obi now makes a striking textile for display, draping, or creative reuse in interior design. The dense nishiki-style weaving and crisp patterning speak to mid-century Japanese craftsmanship, while the warm palette harmonizes easily with both traditional and contemporary spaces.
