Japanese Fukuro Obi Sash Saffron Orange Metallic Gold Tsuru-Bishi Lucky Cranes

This is a beautiful Fukuro Obi, a traditional Japanese sash worn with a kimono. This specific piece is highly formal, characterized by its rich metallic brocade and auspicious symbolism. The central design features Tsuru-bishi (cranes in a diamond shape). In Japanese culture, the crane represents longevity and good fortune. The cranes are encased within a Hishi (diamond) grid, a classic geometric arrangement that signifies elegance and structure. The base is a vibrant saffron orange (often associated with celebration), heavily woven with gold metallic threads (kinran). This combination indicates it is intended for formal events. Lined with orange satin. Face is silk, or silk-like, and gold metallic. 10 1/2″ x 160″ In perfect pristine condition – no signs of use. From a smoke-free home.
