The original Obi
Motif
The main motif represents colourful Camellia flowers, in a silver circle, surrounded by subtle plum blossoms in pink frozen colours. In the background we can see silver flakes sprinkled here and there, and towards the bottom of the motif, very sublte Rinpa waves appear. At the very top, the background fades into a scaly square pattern representing gold leaves (here silver), as if they were applied on the fabric, another tribute to the Rinpa art style I believe.
