Description: This elegant obiage–obijime set is expertly crafted from fine silk and showcases a rich, regal shade of royal purple—an ideal choice for adding depth and sophistication to both formal and semi-formal kimono ensembles.
The obiage is made from rinzu silk, a luxurious jacquard-woven fabric known for its soft sheen and intricate woven patterns. At both ends, the fabric features the traditional asanoha (麻の葉) motif—stylised hemp leaves symbolising growth, protection, and vitality in Japanese culture. These motifs, long associated with strength and positive fortune, lend a meaningful touch to the piece. The central section of the obiage is finished in white shibori (tie-dye), adding elegant texture and a soft visual contrast that beautifully complements the depth of the royal purple hue.
The obijime is braided in a matching royal purple hue, offering a perfectly coordinated look that ties the ensemble together with polished elegance.
