Edo Komon Nagoya obi: Large leaf patterns


節感のある、さわやかな手触りの生地に綺麗な青のグラデーションで
蕗の葉を染めていただきました。

ワントーンの色遣いが新鮮で、大胆ながら悪目立ちせず
主役になってくれる帯です。
白ベースなので、意外といろいろな着物に合わせやすく
お手元の着慣れた着物にも、新鮮な表情を与えてくれるのではないでしょうか。

爽やかな地風が、単衣にも似合います。
蕗（ふきのとう）と聞くと早春のイメージですが、こちらは葉のみの柄ですので
早春〜秋まで、袷と単衣に長く楽しんでいただけると思います。

The amazing blue graduated leaf pattern obi is a sash to tie a kimono, a traditional Japanese garment. An obi is generally tied together in a bow or other attractive knot. The obi is over 30 cm in width and over 370 cm in length. It is made of durable fabric to be polled and is smooth to the touch. Moreover, this is a very gorgeous fabric. You can use it not only as a decorative belt but also as a room item, such as a tapestry over a fireplace, a table center cloth, or a bed runner.

The pattern of the obi normally presents the four seasons of Japan. This obi depicts the leaves of 蕗 (Fuki, Japanese butterbur), which are plants that represent early spring in Japan.

The base color is pure white, with large leaves boldly depicted in gradation of blue on the base. Blue graduated color is a brand color with 雨庵 that can evoke water and rain. These two colors would give you fresh and elegant impressions.
The white-based color of the obi can be combined with various colors of kimonos. Boldly wonderful leaf patterns would be distinctive to your kimonos.

For use of your room items, the blue graduated color would bring to your room a relaxing atmosphere. Leaf patterns will match any colors in your room regardless of the season. You feel free to enjoy decorating the obi as an elegant fabric item.
