Shibori Obiage Scarf for Obi, Pink Very Textured Silk, 47" Long #257

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 12" of the center are not; they're sleek, shiny bubble-gum pink silk jacquard, 14" wide, with glistening diamonds. The entire piece of silk itself is/was 14" wide, and is shibori puckered to about 6 inches. 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.
