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.
This particular one is a Vintage Maru Obi, the silk is carefully woven on both sides and folded in half. The fold line of the former Obi is still visible on the corset.
The pattern is highly decorated, representing herons flying over a garden during the Magic hour. The Magic hour is that time of the day when the Sun is near the horizon and drapes the landscapes and animals in a soft golden light.
In Japan, the Heron is considered a holy creature, symbolising good fortune and longevity. The evergreen Pine is universally known as the symbol of life. During the long and icy winter season in Hokkaido, the evergreen does not lose its leaves nor its lush dark green colour. The pine tree represents steadfastness. The Cherry blossoms symbolise new beginnings, renewal and beauty. The colourful Peonies represent prosperity, good luck and honour.

All the Collection Corsets are size UK 8 (EU40).
However, the fit can be slightly different depending on the thickness of the specific Obi used.
The main measureaments in centimetres are:
Waist size 67 cm
Bust size 88 cm
High hip 84 cm.
Our corsets are made to gently squeeze the waist by 2 to 4 cm from the actual “relaxed” waist measurement. Our Collection Corsets are tailored for a “relaxed” waist size of 70 cm, but the corset will actually embrace your waist from 66 to 68 cm, thanks to an internal adjustable belt, which will help you to close the Corset at your comfortable measurement.
