.. Unknown vintage green and silver striped obi (sash) This is a half-width obi with a green and silver striped pattern, which was used as a kimono obi during the Showa era. It has a bag structure made of fabric woven with green thread and silver lame thread, and fabric woven with beige thread and silver lame thread. A half-width obi (hanhaba obi) is an easy-to-handle, casual obi made with half the width of a general obi (fukuro obi or Nagoya obi). It can be used for relaxed outfits like yukata, or paired with casual everyday wear such as wool, cotton, tsumugi (pongee), and komon (small patterned kimono). It can also be used as an obi to be worn under hakama, or for home wear and practice wear where ease of movement is required. I am not well-informed about the origins of the woven pattern or the trends of the time, but I thought this color combination was an obi that gave a glimpse of the modern and fashionable stance of the time.
