Description from the seller
Summary This is a collection of 10 traditional Japanese Nagoya Obi belts, characterized by their pre-stitched narrow section which makes them easier to wrap and tie. These "Mofuku" (mourning) belts are essential components of Japanese formal attire. The set features a diverse array of weaving styles, and one belt remains in unused condition with its original labels.
Artistry & Design Each belt showcases the beauty of Japanese monochrome aesthetics. Through sophisticated structural weaving, intricate patterns emerge from the black surface, including:
Kiku (Chrysanthemum): Represents nobility and the changing of seasons.
Flowing Water & Waves: Symbolic of purification and the continuity of life.
Geometric Cartouches: Classical motifs containing seasonal flowers or traditional symbols.
The deep black tone is specifically crafted to maintain a rich, matte appearance, representing the highest level of formality and respect in Japanese cultural ceremonies.
Creative Potential These patterned black textiles are highly valued not only for traditional wear but also as premium materials for:
Interior Design: The structural weave makes them ideal for table runners or minimalist wall art.
Fashion & Crafting: The unique width and repeating patterns are perfect for creating modern accessories or structured garments.
