Nagoya obi (名古屋帯), in silk, unfinished. The obi features a repeating pattern of paired fish and stylized organic forms enclosed in diamond-shaped medallions, overlaid on a dense network of abstract decorative bands. Vertical golden stripes featuring small floral motifs help frame and stabilize the otherwise energetic composition, creating a structured balance. The complex interplay of motifs and bands demonstrates both technical skill in weaving and the Japanese aesthetic interest in layering symbolic and decorative patterns, even within a non-traditional design. The eclectic style resembles a Shōwa era design experimentation.
