Hyakunin Isshu (One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets) - Heian Emaki (Picture Scroll) The entire obi (sash) is intricately woven with images reminiscent of the world of the Hyakunin Isshu, featuring Heian aristocrats, ox-drawn carriages, and beautiful seasonal scenes. The lavish and resplendent finish, using plenty of gold thread, exudes an air of refined brilliance depending on the light. This is a "zentū" (fully patterned) obi, meaning the pattern runs across the entire surface, front and back. You don't need to worry about the pattern's appearance when tying the obi, and it maintains perfect beauty from any angle. Furthermore, the profound weight and high status unique to a maru-obi (round obi) set it apart from other obi. Width: 31 cm Length: 424 cm It is clean with no stains or blemishes.
