Vintage Hand Dyed Silk Scarf: Japanese Kimono Obiage Butterscotch Gradation H2101
This is a traditional scarf called obiage which is worn under a Japanese obi
I found that it makes a fantastic shades of pink to light brneck scarf! This one is medium weight with lovely color gradation in butterscotch with a pebbly jacquard weave for texture. The hand painted flowers are tipped with gold metallic fabric paint.
The edges of obiage are not sewn under, they are merely pinked.
I believe this is an unused obiage.

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.
