Vintage Red-Orange Silk Shibori Scarf: Japanese Kimono Obiage H1696
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 cloud shaped shibori dyed patterns edged in white.
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 have a mixed floral and traditional Buddhist pattern jacquard weave.
The edges of obiage are not sewn under, they are merely pinked.
The color of this is red orange, not true red. There is a spot on the plain area that would fall behind your neck (see photo 6).
Measures just 56" x 12" wide (at full width), shorter than many scarves here
