With the arrival of a quiet autumn evening, I remembered the moon and rabbits obi graciously gifted by a Madam.

Unfolding the obi, the deep, serene ground color evokes a tranquil night sky, while elegant moons and playful rabbits appear delicately, creating a gentle and peaceful atmosphere.

Rabbits have long symbolized abundance and harmony, while the moon represents serenity and beauty. Together, they weave a subtle story that invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and imagine.

This obi is a special piece, passed down by a kind madam in Kyoto. Depending on your kimono coordination, it can complement formal visiting kimonos or add a refined touch to a plain kimono.


At KIMONO DE AKIKO, we take pride in sharing the charm of such traditional Japanese textiles and the stories they carry.
