Ichimatsu Black & Red Hanhaba Obi

Description: This beautiful reversible hanhaba obi features two distinct yet harmonious designs that celebrate both tradition and seasonal beauty. One side displays a striking Ichimatsu moyo (市松模様) pattern in bold black and red checks — a design symbolizing continuity, prosperity, and balance, famously associated with the 18th-century kabuki actor Sanogawa Ichimatsu and, more recently, the 2020 Tokyo Olympic emblem.
The reverse side offers a softer contrast with a red base and elegant silver stripes, adorned with delicate Asagao (morning glory) motifs — flowers cherished in Japan as symbols of summer, love, and ephemeral beauty

Fabric: High-quality woven polyester with a soft texture and smooth finish.

Condition: Excellent condition. The fabric is strong, the weave clear, and the color beautifully preserved.

Style: This reversible hanhaba obi pairs traditional symbolism with timeless elegance, making it a versatile choice for casual or seasonal kimono coordination.
