Japanese Maru Obi Silk Bolt Woven with Genuine 24K Gold Leaf Thread 17721

This maru obi silk bolt is an exceptional, premium-quality textile woven with genuine 24K gold leaf thread (honkin-ito), representing the highest level of traditional Japanese weaving craftsmanship.

The end of the fabric bolt (tanbashi) is woven with the inscription 「本金箔丸帯」 ("Maru Obi Woven with Genuine Gold Leaf"), confirming that it was made using authentic gold leaf thread.

The design depicts Rakuchū Rakugai-zu (Scenes In and Around Kyoto), a classic Japanese motif illustrating the historic city of Kyoto, its famous landmarks, seasonal festivals, and everyday life.

The pattern is repeated continuously from the beginning to the end of the bolt, creating a beautiful, uninterrupted design throughout.

The second-to-last photograph most accurately represents the thread's true golden color.

The condition is excellent (mint condition). There are no stains, tears, or other signs of damage.
