Japanese Vintage Hanhaba Obi – Orange Arrow Feather (Yabane) Pattern, Reversible Women's Sash
A bold and graphic vintage hanhaba obi featuring a classic yabane (arrow feather) motif in orange and white, with a solid orange reverse side — a versatile, eye-catching piece for casual kimono and yukata styling.
One side of this obi showcases a beautiful woven yabane pattern, with stylized arrow-feather shapes in soft white rendered in a textured, embroidered-look weave against a rich orange ground — a traditional Japanese motif long associated with good fortune. The reverse side is a solid, vibrant orange, offering a clean, understated alternative look. Being reversible, this obi is wonderfully versatile — wear the patterned side for a bold statement, or flip it to the solid side for a simpler, more streamlined finish. The cotton fabric has a nice body and texture, giving it good structure for tying.
