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.

KIMONO DE AKIKO, we also offer kimono restoration and coordination .
