Maru Obi brocade crane temple and flowers. This sumptuous Maru Obi in woven brocade showcases a refined pattern of majestic cranes, traditional temples, and tsuzumi (Japanese drums), surrounded by an explosion of Japanese flowers. Its ivory background is enhanced with golden details, adding brilliance and elegance. The warm colors, blending orange, red, and green, highlight the richness of the weaving. In excellent condition and seemingly never used, it retains all its original splendor. A perfect piece to complement a traditional outfit or to be transformed into a sophisticated decorative element. Being a vintage piece, it may have some stains or defects.
The Maru Obi, often regarded as a textile art piece, is the most formal of all Obi worn with traditional Japanese attire. It is fully embroidered or woven, on both sides, allowing for a front and back that are equally rich and detailed. Historically, it was worn for significant occasions, such as weddings or formal ceremonies. Its complete width and the complexity of its patterns make it a particularly sought-after item by collectors and kimono aficionados. Each Maru Obi tells a story and conveys messages through its patterns and colors, often representing nature, the seasons, or tales from Japanese literature and folklore.
