Description: This elegant Nagoya obi is crafted from black ro silk, known for its airy, sheer texture and seasonal lightness—perfect for summer or warm-weather wear. The fabric features subtle horizontal woven stripes, which enhance its sense of movement and provide a delicate, breathable quality.
The design is centered on Tate (back section) around two sakura Kamon (cherry blossom family crests)—one larger and one smaller—arranged asymmetrically but visually connected, creating a balanced and modern aesthetic. The same motif is mirrored on the Te (front section) in a more compact scale, maintaining cohesion while offering refined detail. Sakura (cherry blossom) mon (crest)— symbols of renewal, beauty, and refined heritage.
Woven with precision, the crests emerge gently from the fabric with a soft sheen, harmonising beautifully with the semi-transparent silk ground. The interplay between the delicate stripes and the elegant crest motifs creates a sense of quiet sophistication.
Fabric: Ro silk (summer-weight, sheer woven silk) with woven crest design.
Style: Semi-formal to formal summer wear. This obi is ideal for pairing with iromuji, tsukesage, or komon, adding an air of subtle formality and grace to any ensemble.
Condition: Excellent — clean, crisp, and ready to wear.
