Floral Fireworks 30x30cm
Woven in Japan with gold metallic thread, this cushion began life as a vintage silk Obi - the ceremonial sash worn with a Kimono.
It's been carefully rebuilt into a piece your home can live with, where the light catches the brocade differently by the hour.
The motif is a cherry blossom - for centuries it has stood for renewal.
This is a one-of-a-kind piece. Once it's gone, this exact pattern won't be repeated.
Specifications
Because each Obi is a vintage, one-of-a-kind piece, we're generally unable to accept returns. But we are always here if you have questions before you buy.
If something arrives that genuinely doesn't match the images and/or description, please reach out and we'll make it right.

What does the motif mean?
Perhaps Japan's most iconic motif, the cherry blossom, Sakura, represents the beauty of life precisely because it is brief. The flowers bloom in full glory for only a week or two before falling.
It's a symbol of renewal, transience, and the idea that fleeting beauty is worth celebrating rather than mourning.
