About the Item

A stunning Japanese obi textile from the Shōwa period, masterfully woven from silk with exquisite raden (mother-of-pearl inlay) detailing. This formal maru obi features a rich and intricate design of a traditional pavilion set within a stylized mountainous landscape, accented by vibrant seasonal flowers and flowing streams. The luminous raden elements shimmer subtly against the golden tones of the silk, adding a layer of refined opulence. The meticulous craftsmanship and harmonious composition suggest it was created for ceremonial or high-formality wear, likely part of a wedding ensemble or a display collection. The landscape, rendered with extraordinary precision and depth, reflects the deep cultural appreciation for nature and architecture in Japanese art. This piece is in excellent condition for its age and may be framed or displayed as a textile art object.

Japanese Maru Obi with Gold Embroidered Dragons – Silk Brocade, Taisho to Showa
Located in Fukuoka, JP
A magnificent example of Japanese textile artistry, this vintage maru obi dates from the Taisho to early Showa period (circa 1920–1950). Woven in luxurious silk, it features a richly detailed brocade design with mythological dragons encircled by flames and stylized clouds—symbols of strength, protection, and imperial authority in Japanese culture. The opulent gold and beige ground is accented with bold tones of red, green, black, and purple, showcasing intricate weaving techniques and vibrant color contrasts. Hexagonal panels with floral motifs in gold and black add structure and visual rhythm to the piece. Measuring 341 cm in length and 32 cm in width, this maru obi was traditionally worn for formal kimono occasions and would have wrapped fully around the waist. Today, it makes a powerful statement as a display piece—whether mounted as wall art or draped as a textile sculpture—highlighting the beauty and craftsmanship of early 20th-century Japanese weaving...
