Vintage Sheer Yellow Silk Shibori Scarf: Japanese Kimono Obiage H1826
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 very light weight with orange vessel shaped patterns in the puckered areas.
The center photos show the complexity of the shibori dye process where each raised area has been tied off to resist the dye.
The flatter parts show the ro weave, a ventilated style for hot weather.
The edges of obiage are not sewn under, they are merely pinked.
Measures just 54" x 12" wide (at full width), shorter than many scarves here
