This antique, silk 'Golden Peony' Hanhaba style Obi (1/2 width kimono sash) from the Meiji period (1868–1912) features peonies, chrysanthemum and leaves, pine needles, plum blossoms and clouds - symbolically they cover the late autumn to early winter seasons.
The obi itself is quite demure as was the fashion of time and the colour has become a little muted due to exposure to light and air at various stages throughout the last century or more - as you might expect in an antique piece. Unfortunately we don't know the actual age of this Obi but it was woven sometime in the Meiji era - ageing it somewhere between 100 - 149 years (in 2017).
The base colour is dark gold with lighter gold cloud patterns which catch the light. Many of the shapes are outlined in black and some of the embroidered flowers are a subtle pink.
Condition
Given its antique status this beautiful piece is in very good condition. We highly recommend this obi for display purposes only - in order to preserve its beauty.

These gorgeous braided or woven 100% silk cords are used as the top layer tie over wider obi's. They traditionally 'finish' the look of the layered Kimono ensemble but we like to use them to tie kimono we wear as robes or dressing gowns. I've used them instead of a chain for bold jewellery - and they can look great as a thin belt over a simple dress. I've seen people use them as curtain ties too!
They are also great for those handy with a needle and thread and other crafty types - lovely drawstrings or handles for bags etc.
Condition - New.

Dry Clean Only
We recommend Dry Clean Only for Obijime however if you find an easy to remove spot try lightly brushing or dabbing with a damp cloth - try not to rub the fabric. To extend the life of this garment cleaning should only be performed when absolutely necessary.
