This set includes a frame and an obi with a flowing water pattern.
The flowing water motif is one of the traditional designs used in obis and kimonos. It abstractly represents flowing water.
Water's flow is ever-changing yet unending, and the pattern carries meanings of "eternity," "purity," and "abundance."
Because flowing water moves forward while avoiding obstacles, it also symbolizes "flexibility," "the power to overcome difficulties," and serves as a charm for warding off misfortune.
It imparts a sense of pure tranquility and quiet strength, as if cleansing the air, making it well-suited for entrances and living rooms.
This particular obi uses many colored threads, giving it a strikingly gorgeous impression. Owing to its splendor, it is often chosen for formal and festive occasions such as coming-of-age ceremonies and other celebrations.
