Shibori Obiage Scarf for Obi, Pink/Peach Very Textured Silk, 50" Long #524

Sometimes worn above or over an obi, or as scarves, this is an obiage with wonderful intense dimensional shibori work. Very textured, much more so than a kimono fabric would be because it has not been steamed smooth. Two 16" long portions are shibori and puckery. The 4" long ends and about 10" of the center are not; they're sleek, shiny peach-pink silk jacquard, 11.5" wide, with tiny glistening abstract diamonds. The entire piece of fine silk itself before the shibori, was about 11.5" wide and maybe 2 yards long, and is now shibori puckered to about 50" x 6.5".  The back is quite similar but the tiny shibori spots aren't the same or as pointed. Sleek, smooth, supple, flowy and drapey (before the shibori) 100% Silk. Japan.  One of a kind. In perfect condition, age unknown.
