Motif
The hand embroidery representing hydrangeas is only present on 3 sections of the whole obi. Ajisai flowers, Japanese for hydrangea, are the stars of the rainy season. At this time of the year they appear in the streets and gardens as balls of light contrasting with the grey weather. Their small flowers resembling constellations are a great source on inspiration for kimono motifs as well as wagashi confectionary.
TEXTILE
The fabric is made of silk and with silver lamé. The embroidery on top is executed by hand.
