Worn in Japan as the elaborate outer belt of the kimono, in the west Japanese obi make wonderful table runners, bed runners or even wall hangings. And if you are even a little bit creatively inclined they can be used to make beautiful handbags, placemats and other accessories for you and your home.

Our obis are 100% silk, around 4.2m long and 30cm wide. They are all in excellent condition and many of them, even though they are vintage have never been used before.
