Vintage Silk Shibori Dyed Scarf - Japanese Kimono Obiage, Deep Pink Confection H1753
This is a traditional scarf called obiage which is worn under a Japanese obi
I found that it makes a fantastic neck scarf! Light weight and glossy with shibori dyed, abstract floral and leaf images on deep pink jacquard This is a saturated shade of pink; so lovely. The color is closer to the first 4 photos.
The middle photos show the complexity of the shibori dye process.
The edges of obiage are not sewn under, they are merely pinked.
Measures 54" x 12" wide (at full width), shorter than many scarves here
