Vintage Dark Orange Silk Shibori Scarf: Japanese Kimono Obiage H1700
This is a traditional scarf called obiage which is worn under a Japanese obi
I found that it makes a fantastic neck scarf! This one is light weight with water and wave patterns in the puckered areas.
The middle photos show the complexity of the shibori dye process where each raised area has been tied off to resist the dye.
The flatter parts show a rhombus pattern jacquard weave.
The edges of obiage are not sewn under, they are merely pinked.
The last photo is dark but shows a tiny spot where a single drop of water hit the silk at lower center.
Measures just 53" x 12" wide (at full width), shorter than many scarves here
