Description: This striking vintageNagoya obi features a bold and modern geometric design woven onto a deep navy blue base. The focal motif appears on the Tare (the wide end that hangs down the back) and showcases three horizontally aligned diamond shapes, each resembling stylised barbells or dumbbells. These are rendered in rich gradient tones of turquoise, blue, and royal purple, giving the obi a vibrant, retro-futuristic flair.
On the Te (the narrower sash end that wraps around the waist), a secondary design is displayed—two abstract, tower-like or cross-shaped figures in matching shades of blue. This subtle echo of the main motif adds visual continuity and balance when the obi is worn. The combination of rich color and sharp geometry makes this piece a statement accessory, ideal for pairing with solid or subtly patterned kimono.
