Beautiful antique silk maru obi (丸帯) (kinu orimono) probably dating from the late Showa period. Woven with gold threads, it features rich motifs of phoenixes 鳳凰 (Hōō) , chrysanthemums菊 (kiku) and floral arabesques , in circular medallions inspired by Japanese imperial symbols.
A more sober 113 cm section, woven in a geometric herringbone pattern, extends from 265 to 378 cm. This slightly off-center arrangement is typical of maru obi intended for specific knotting (see photos).
The reverse of the obi is entirely adorned with a subtle cherry blossom pattern (sakura) on a gold background, offering a second side that is just as elegant and refined. A precious detail that allows for a variety of uses. (see photos)
