We are offering our remaining inventory at a low price as we plan to close our shop in three years.

This is a linen Nagoya obi, woven for wear during the unlined (hitoe) and summer seasons. It can be paired with casual kimonos such as komon or tsumugi, as well as yukata and linen kimonos.

This item is from Kawaguchi Textile, located by Lake Biwa. The area around Lake Biwa has a long history of thriving textile industries, including Omi Jofu, Nagahama Chirimen, and Yogo Tsumugi. Yamaguchi Textile is known for weaving various tsumugi kimonos and obi under the name Hata-so Tsumugi.

This particular obi features a lattice pattern created by weaving navy blue child-bearing stripes (a pattern where small dots are arranged in a line) horizontally into a beige-based vertical stripe design, making it a summer Nagoya obi.

When pairing a kimono with floral patterns with a floral patterned obi, the overall look can become somewhat unfashionable. Geometric patterns are best suited for floral motifs with soft curves. This is why geometric patterns such as fans, diamonds, shippo (seven treasures), and cloud motifs are often incorporated into formal obi designs. The aim is to create a contrast in patterns between the kimono and the obi.
The lattice pattern, along with the stripe pattern, is one of the simplest and most basic designs, making it suitable for everyday wear and casual kimonos. We believe it will also pair well with floral yukata.
