Vintage Japanese Silk Obi Obiage Obimakura New Unworn Yellow Embroidered Flowers

Description

Simple but beautiful, this is a New Vintage Japanese Silk Obi Obiage Obimakura Unworn in its Original Package.
The obi (37” in length and 11 1/2” wide) is still attached to the packaging material as you can see in photos, as is the obimakura (pillow).
Though not elaborately decorative, this set is very well made. The fabric is a vanilla/pale yellow colored silk with embroidered pale pink and dark pink flowers with pale green leaves—the flowers appear on one side of the sash and on both sides of the obiage.
The set consists of an obi sash, an obiage and an obimakura (pillow). It might appear that there is bleed through on the obiage, but what is showing is simply stitching of the same exact design on the opposite side.
Obiage (This one measures 82” long x 6” wide)
Obiage is a decorative sash that can is used to assist in tying more complex bows with the obi. It is tied into a knot that tucks into the front of the obi and makes two little arches above it.
Obimakura
Obimakura is used to support the bows or ties at the back of the obi and keep them lifted. Obimakura is usually covered by the obiage to hide it and make the bow (musubi) more attractive.
