This Maru-obi is stunning and rare, made from stone coloured silk brocade, with a colourful design.

The traditional woven patterns are of chrysanthemums, flower gardens, pine trees, and royal cargo, in many attractive colours, on a stone background. 

The colours include orange, green, deep pink, and metallic golden yellow. The tones are soft, not as bright as some of the photos look.

Maru obi are rare and expensive in Japan, and are generally only worn for weddings these days.

This obi would be suitable to wear with a kimono, or could be made into a table runner or wall hanging.

There are some folds from storage, otherwise in excellent used condition.

Width 32.5cm/12.8"    Length 400cm/157.5"    Weight 1080 grams (all approximate).
