A Rustic and Textured Casual Obi: Sakiori-Like

mid twentieth century
86" x 5 1/2", 218.5 cm x 14 cm

This rustic obi gives the impression that it is sakiori or ragweave, but in actual fact is seems to be woven from a cotton warp with what appears to be a wool yarn weft.

As can be seen on the accompanying detail photos, the obi is woven in bright, saturated tones. The weft is fed in regularly spaced blocks of colors: pink, white, purple, cranberry, and green.

The overall visual result is a cheerful length of richly colored hues.

The condition is good and used and there seems to be very little damage or wear to this piece.

Just lovely.
