Vintage Hand Dyed Silk Scarf: Japanese Kimono Obiage Berry and Orange H2088
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 lovely color gradation in raspberry to orange with a textured fan pattern in the weave and embellished with gold metallic fabric paint. Quite a confection!
The edges of obiage are not sewn under, they are merely pinked.
I believe this is an unused obiage.

Vintage Hand Dyed Silk Scarf: Japanese Kimono Obiage Berry and Orange H2088
Kimono scarves are neck scarves sewn from bolts of Japanese kimono fabric, originally intended to be made into a kimono jacket or robe. The bolts of cloth are narrow, between 12-14", so they are a natural choice for scarf making.
