Japanese Silk Kimono Scarf H1705 - Vintage Two Tone 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 wave and water patterns on sage green and apricot silk jacquard with a rhombus pattern.
The middle photos show the complexity of the shibori dye process.
The edges of obiage are not sewn under, they are merely pinked.
Measures 55" x 12" wide (at full width), shorter than many scarves here
Vintage Silk Shibori Scarf - Japanese Kimono Obiage, Two-Tone H1705
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.
