Crimson Sakura & Gold Weave Obi Corset

The Obi is more than a sash; it is the soul of the kimono ensemble, acting as a canvas for Japan’s most revered artistry. Historically, the elaborate knotting of an obi communicated social status, age, and marital status, with different knots reserved for different occasions. Our brocade obi continues this tradition, featuring a densely woven design with shimmering sakura (cherry blossoms) and intricate gold threadwork. The crimson red color itself is deeply symbolic in East Asia, often representing luck, happiness, and powerful vitality. To wear this obi is to wrap yourself in a piece of textile history—a masterful blend of silk, color, and texture that instantly elevates any kimono or yukata. The construction of the fabric is thick and luxurious, designed to hold a variety of traditional knots with grace, transforming simple fabric into sculptural art.
