OBI Cap – Royal Chrysanthemum & Golden Draperies Pattern

Obi Cap – Imperial Chrysanthemum & Vermillion, Gold & Silver Court Line Pattern

This obi cap is a unique piece made from genuine remnants of Japanese obi, carefully selected and reassembled. Each model is the result of meticulous work, transforming exceptional traditional textiles into a contemporary accessory with a strong character.

Thanks to the use of antique fabrics, each cap is unique: the arrangement of patterns varies depending on the cut, making each piece singular. The photos illustrate an example of the rendering; the cap received will retain the same palette and spirit, with slight natural variations.

The Imperial Chrysanthemum and Court Drapery Pattern This cap celebrates the opulence of the Heian period with a central chrysanthemum pattern (Kiku), Japan's national flower symbolizing longevity and nobility. Masterfully embroidered with silver and gold threads, it is surrounded by spring flowers in pastel shades of pink and green, creating a textile garden of rare elegance.

On the side, bold gold and silver bands intertwine on a vibrant vermillion background, evoking the Kichō, the silk screens used in imperial palaces. This dynamic interplay of lines brings a modern and graphic structure that contrasts with the softness of the floral curves.

The combination of sacred red, solid gold, and ivory silk gives this cap a prestigious and radiant aura. It is a "masterpiece" that fuses the solemnity of imperial traditions with a bold aesthetic, ideal for enhancing a contemporary silhouette.
