In this book, the authors present the obi as it is being used in interiors today, demonstrating simple yet striking techniques for making these exquisite kimono sashes the centerpiece of any room's decor.
The focus is on seven key uses for obi that are applicable to nearly any setting imaginable, such as:

These and other dramatic and innovative uses of obi in interior design are presented along with such essentials as colour coordination, fabric shaping, and accessories for hanging obi. The vivid photographs in this book present some of the most elegant interiors the authors have found, from Tokyo to Washington DC, and show the obi being used in today's homes to create a sumptuous, refined and modern ambiance.
