Vintage Japanese green silk obi with Crane and 2 other designs

Vintage Japanese green silk obi with Crane and 2 other designsOh, this one is so pretty! This is a Maru obi made of silk with a multi weave of gold and silver threads in the 3 designs. It's 12. 5 inches in width and approx 166 inches in length (14 Ft) It is in excellent condition. I love the Maru obi because they are easier to manipulate when folding for a table runner or to use to display your kokeshi or glassware. This would be absolutely gorgeous on a dining room table! The 3 designs are some of my favorites:

this one is so pretty

Dark pink kokeshi with painted cherry blossom design

In her up hair she wears a comb featuring 3 flying cranes and an orange sun

She is a beauty

Navy Blue pattern with gold obi

This young girl is happy

Design is Pine with 2 Cranes

The ease of styling a Maru obi is that is is patterned on both sides with no blank portions

The Maru obi is considered the most elegant of obi and is worn over the formal kimono for ceremonial occasions

Natural wood color kokeshi with carved two shades of pink Cosmos

Hanamonogatari means flower story and Tsubaki means Camellia

So pretty and would be a lovely holiday gift
