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 motifs are ocean waves, diamond patterns (Hishimon), tortoise shell (Kikko) and cherry blossom - for centuries it has stood for good fortune, prosperity, longevity and renewal, respectively. This is a one-of-a-kind piece. Once it's gone, this exact pattern won't be repeated. Specifications 45 x 30cm / 18 x 12in Gold metallic brocade Decorative front, plain backing Removable cover Filled with soft, hypoallergenic hollow fibre - UK orders only (other regions: cover only) Photos show the actual piece for sale, including natural signs of age
