An obi is a traditional Japanese sash worn with kimono, known for its decorative weaving and artistry.
This particular piece features a beautiful flowing river and pine motif, with a refined gold and brown gradient that catches the light softly.
The fabric has a silk-like sheen and a cream-coloured lining, reflecting the quiet elegance of Japanese craftsmanship.

We found this obi on a cold early-winter afternoon while wandering near Yanaka.
A small street seller had it laid out, and I fell in love with it the moment I saw it — the shimmer of gold, the quiet rhythm of its woven pattern, the way it seemed to hold its own memory.

It’s not introduced here to be worn as an obi.
Somewhere in the world, someone will find a new way to live with this fabric — to fold it, to display it, to simply let it rest on a wooden dresser in the corner of a room.
Even left untouched, it feels complete in its own beauty.
