Sage Green Silk Brocade Geometric Obi Sash

Jacobean · Japanese

A formal Japanese obi sash woven in silk with an intricate geometric pattern. The textile displays a sophisticated lattice design in muted sage green with gold metallic threads creating diamond and hexagonal motifs. The weave appears to be a complex brocade technique with raised metallic elements that would have caught light when worn. The obi shows the characteristic wide format necessary for the elaborate tying methods of formal kimono dress. The geometric patterning reflects the refined aesthetic of Edo period textile production, with precise repetition and subtle color gradations that demonstrate advanced weaving skills.
