Description: Bold folklore and timeless patterns converge in this striking hanhaba obi. One side features an intricate weave of two distinct oni masks, representing contrasting forces—fierce protection and mischievous chaos—set against a backdrop of the traditional urokomon (scale pattern), a design believed to ward off evil and symbolise renewal, resilience, and transformation. The other side offers a striking contrast with a deep, reddish-brown hue adorned in the asa no ha (hemp leaf) motif—long associated with growth, vitality, and protection, particularly for the young.
Woven from high-quality silk, this obi provides a smooth, luxurious feel and beautiful drape, with crisp detailing in both texture and tone. Reversible in design, it offers two distinct expressions—bold and symbolic, or understated and elegant—making it a versatile addition to both yukata and casual kimono ensembles.
Fabric: Fine silk with rich woven detailing on both sides for a refined finish.
Style: A dramatic yet meaningful blend of folklore and tradition—perfect for those who appreciate cultural depth and visual impact.
Condition: Gently used and in excellent condition, with vibrant motifs and fabric integrity well preserved.
