Blue sunset

Mountains crowned with pine trees. A very simple and modest motif, contrasting with the shimmer and the vibrance of the colours.

This is a party obi, which would be the main accessory of the outfit when it is worn with a kimono. In this way, it is almost like a big piece of jewellery. Although the fabric is too gorgeous to be worn with a casual kimono, the motif is seasonless and therefore the obi can be worn all year round.

FABRIC

Because it is made of lamé weft (a sort of very thin metallic slat), this fabric has an intense shine when it moves in the light. Seen from different angles, and depending on the lighting, the shimmering landscape seems to change colour as if the sun was rising or setting upon it. When seen in a lower light (photo below) the blue becomes darker but the golden patterns stand out even more.

CUSTOM ORDER

When ordering a bumbag, please indicate which area of the motif you would like me to focus on. For example, if you prefer the orange mountain or the yellow ones. For larger bags, the entire motif can be displayed.
