Union Jack Woven Silk Obi Sash

Japanese Traditional · 2010s · Japanese

A contemporary silk obi featuring a bold geometric collage design that incorporates the British Union Jack flag as a central motif. The textile combines traditional Japanese weaving techniques with modern graphic elements, including diagonal stripes, chevron patterns, and color-blocked sections in red, navy, white, and black. The obi displays a postmodern aesthetic that juxtaposes cultural symbols, blending British patriotic imagery with Japanese textile craftsmanship. The silk has a structured weight appropriate for formal kimono wear, with crisp geometric edges and precise color registration typical of jacquard weaving.
