Vintage Silk Shibori Scarf - Japanese Kimono Obiage, Two Tone Orange with Aqua H2144
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 leaf patterns and aqua blossoms on light and dark orange silk jacquard with a speckled pattern.

The edges of obiage are not sewn under, they are merely pinked.
Measures 56" x 12" wide (at full width), shorter than many scarves here
