Sakura Kimono Obi Table Runner – Japanese Textile Art Wall Hanging – Floral Interior Decor from Vintage Kimono Fabric
A soft spring breeze carried through a single obi—where blossoms bloom on black.
This handmade textile decor is crafted from a vintage fukuro-obi (formal kimono sash) featuring cherry blossom (sakura) motifs. Woven in rokutsuu-gara (60% patterned), this obi blends traditional design with modern elegance. The delicate sakura flowers in pale pink and light blue emerge vividly against a bold black silk background, evoking both beauty and fleetingness—hallmarks of Japanese aesthetics.
Ideal as a wall hanging or table runner, this piece adds poetic texture to minimalist or natural interiors.

This is a type of obi pattern, where the pattern is not on the waist area that is hidden when the obi is tied, but on about 60% of the entire obi, from the end of the hand to the end of the hanging part.
