Woven in Japan with silver 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 ho me can live with, where the light catches the brocade differently by the hour. The motif is a chrysanthemum and shell box - for centuries it has stood for nobility and perfect union. This is a one-of-a-kind piece. Once it's gone, this exact pattern won't be repeated.
