Vintage Silk Shibori Scarf - Japanese Kimono Obiage, Hot Coral H2143
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 shibori dyed cloud patterns on hot coral silk jacquard with a geometric pattern. The color is closest to the last 2 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 just 54" x 12" wide (at full width), a lot shorter than many scarves here

Kimono scarves are neck scarves sewn from bolts of Japanese kimono fabric, originally intended to be made into a kimono jacket or robe. The bolts of cloth are narrow, between 12-14", so they are a natural choice for scarf making.
