Japanese Silk Kimono Scarf H1675 - Vintage Lavender Silk Shibori Dyed Obiage Scarf
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 gorgeous shibori dyed patterns in white.
The last photos show the complexity of the shibori dye process; this one with pretty floral shapes.
The flatter areas show a lattice jacquard weave.
The edges of obiage are not sewn under, they are merely pinked.
Measures 55" x 11.5" wide (at full width), shorter than many scarves here
