Description: This stunning Fukuro obi is a masterful blend of traditional symbolism and modern refinement. Woven from very fine silk, it features an abstract wave motif expressed in shades of red and deep orange-red, creating a monochromatic yet vibrant visual impact. The flowing, undulating lines suggest the gentle motion of water or wind, bringing a sense of rhythm and movement to the design.
In Japanese culture, wave patterns (波 – nami) symbolise resilience, continuity, and life's ever-changing flow. This timeless motif adds depth and meaning to the piece, while its nuanced weave gives subtle texture and dimensionality to the lustrous silk surface.
The rich, warm tones and dynamic curves make this obi a bold yet elegant statement—perfect for both traditional and contemporary kimono styling.
Fabric: Exceptionally fine woven silk with a soft sheen and sophisticated finish.
Style: Ideal for semi-formal to formal kimono, including iromuji, tsukesage, and refined komon.
