Description: This striking Nagoya obi is crafted from exceptionally high-quality silk, offering a luxurious feel and graceful drape. The obi features an elegant cloud motif (kumo) woven across the entire fabric—appearing seamlessly on both the Te (front/waist) and Tare (back sections). The design evokes a sense of calm movement and timeless beauty rooted in classical Japanese symbolism.
The base silk is rich, deep black with a soft luster, providing a dramatic contrast to the matte finish of the clouds, which seem to float gently across the surface. This refined textural interplay adds depth and sophistication without overwhelming the eye.
In excellent condition, this obi is perfect for those seeking a piece that combines minimalist elegance with symbolic meaning. The cloud motif traditionally represents change, impermanence, and spiritual elevation, making this obi a beautiful and thoughtful accent for both formal and semi-formal kimono styles.
