A wide silk obi sash featuring large-scale floral motifs in pink and burgundy roses against a cream background, displayed over a turquoise kimono. The obi is tied in an elaborate bow formation at the front, demonstrating contemporary obi styling. The silk appears to have a subtle sheen with painterly floral designs that blend traditional Japanese textile aesthetics with modern color palettes. The substantial width and structured bow indicate this is a formal obi, likely measuring approximately 12 inches wide. The floral pattern shows Western-influenced rose motifs rather than traditional Japanese flowers, reflecting contemporary cross-cultural design approaches in modern kimono accessories.
