“We regret to inform you that this item will only be available for sale until November 24th (Monday).” The ground is gold thread. The design features diagonal lattices and colorful round patterns with peacocks, golden pheasants, parrots, swans, ducks, seabirds, and doves, a collection of various birds. This is a masterpiece by Gekka Minagawa, a renowned artist who incorporated Western painting techniques into Yuzen dyeing and has worked on the copper hangings and front hangings of the Gion Festival floats in Kyoto. His style of vividly and colorfully depicting nature and living creatures is still popular today. Recently, the price of gold thread has been rising, causing trouble for weavers, but this is a luxurious piece that uses plenty of gold thread. It exudes a dazzling brilliance like the coffered ceiling of the State Guest House, while up close, you can see the adorable figures of the birds. The harmony of Japanese beauty and cuteness is truly wonderful. While being gorgeous, it also gives a sense of elegance, and it is a beautiful obi that is highly recommended. Bird lovers, please take a look.
