Design with Japanese Obi

The obi is the traditional sash used to secure Japanese kimonos. In this beautiful book, Diane and Ann Wiltshire use these narrow lengths of rich fabric creatively as elements for interior design and decoration. Obis come in a stunning range of textures, colors, and fabrics, and the authors demonstrate how they can be used for such things as wall hangings, mirror frames, and table displays. They also discuss innovative ways of incorporating a Japanese-influenced design into Western homes.
