Vintage Intense Pink Silk Shibori Scarf: Japanese Kimono Obiage H2029 This is a traditional scarf called obiage which is worn under a Japanese obi I found that it makes a fantastic neck scarf! This scarf is a lovely saturated pink color with all areas shibori dyed except for the very ends. The middle photos show the complexity of the shibori dye process where each raised area has been tied off to resist the dye. The center areas show the arrow patterns common to Japanese textiles. The flatter parts have a mixed floral and traditional Buddhist pattern jacquard weave. The edges of obiage are not sewn under, they are merely pinked. Measures just 56" x 16" wide (at full width), shorter than many scarves here The narrow parts measure about 7" unstretched.
