Heavily woven silk brocade and metalic threads on a black background.\nThe pattern is Fortune Hexagons or Kikko in Japanese tradition. It is a geometric hexagonal motif symbolizing the shell of the tortoise, a long-standing ancient symbol for longevity, endurance, and good fortune.\n\nWe carefully select and import the silk fabric belts directly from Japan, only upcycling items that have been inspected for craftmanship and quality.\n\nMillions of unused vintage kimonos and heavy silk obi sashes end up discarded in Japan today due to changing daily fashion, complicated dressing rules, and a lack of younger generations wearing them.\n\nIt is a tragedy that so many of them are discarded. Many hours of craftmanship have gone into each item and we believe these beautiful heritage fabrics should be appreciated. By upcycling them, we reduce waste and you get a small piece of a highly technical and mastered art that is dying out.\n\nIt is very hard to capture the colour of the heavily embroidered silks with metalic threads as the colour can change depending on the angle the fabric is viewed from.\nPlease treat colours as indicative only as individual screen setting will vary.","brand":"The Morris Room","product_id":8693068,"availability":"in stock","quantity":3,"product_expiration":"2027-01-11T12:33:41+00:00","images":["https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-94515666b17cf862b3643adc877bec6a-silk-brocade-cushion-japanese-kimono-obi-the-morris-room/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-353a01df81b47789240d6bcc4f4a7298-silk-brocade-cushion-japanese-kimono-obi-the-morris-room/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-c3af7169d80ea424b4555d2c1612b258-silk-brocade-cushion-japanese-kimono-obi-the-morris-room/public"]}
