Lilac Purple Shibori Obiage Scarf for Obi, Very Textured Silk, 44" Long #264

$25.00

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 14" long portions are shibori and puckery. The ends and about 11" of the center are not; they're sleek shiny lilac jacquard, 14" wide, which is the base fabric. The entire piece of silk itself is/was 14" wide, (and will be again if you stretch it) and is shibori puckered to about 6 inches. The back is quite similar; photos show both sides. Sleek, smooth, supple, flowy and drapey (before the shibori) 100% Silk. Japan. One of a kind. In perfect condition, age unknown.
