This Corset is a unique piece made from a Japanese Obi coming from Hokkaido from the Showa Era.
An Obi is a sash or a belt used to hold in place a kimono, a Japanese traditional dress.
The main object of this piece is the magnificent white Bridge embroidered between white cherry blossoms, large elegant peonies and a prominent white peacock.
The silvery background makes in result all the ivory embroidery giving a solemn and holy atmosphere to this splendid fabric.
In the Japanese culture, the Bridge symbolises travelling and transitioning from one state to another, or from one ‘world’ to another. Therefore a bridge means good fortune for a new beginning.
The Peacock symbolise integrity, nurturing and kindness. The breath-taking beauty of the White Peacock is very rare, and therefore is seen as a sign of good luck.
The imperial carriage discovered on the left is special carriage called Gosho-guruma. Only high ranking nobles were permitted to ride in these lavishly decorated vehicles, so the Gosho-guruma represents wealth and movement into something positive.
The Cherry blossoms symbolise new beginnings, renewal and beauty.
The elegant Peonies represent prosperity, good luck and honour.
