This Nishijin-ori silk tie features a deep crimson (dark red) base with a cream-colored twill weave panel. The design boldly switches between different textures, creating a single-color tie with remarkable depth. The cream-colored section is composed of a raised pattern created by the weave, not embroidery, which produces beautiful shadows depending on how the light hits it. The design is reminiscent of obi sashes or fabric scraps from traditional Japanese clothing, giving it a quiet, antique feel. Although there is no tag, the material is believed to be silk, and both the texture and weave exude a sense of luxury. Unlike mass-produced ties, this one has an artisanal quality, making it a good match for styling that incorporates elements of modern, classic, or Japanese fashion. As a vintage item, there is some minor wear and tear from age, but no noticeable damage. Please review the photos before considering a purchase.
