£2,310.00
Corset made from a Copper silk Fukuro Obi.
This Obi dates back to the beginning of the Showa Era (1926-1989) and represents a flock of white Herons flying over indistinct vegetation. The trees are turning their foliage from green to a more autumnal colour.
This piece represents a flock of white Herons flying over indistinct vegetation. The trees are turning their foliage from green to a more autumnal colour.
The background is copper, and carefully embroidered orange needle-like leaves are added as finishing touches of a painting to the trees.
Throughout Asia, the Heron is a symbol of Happiness and Eternal Youth. In Japan especially, it is considered a holy creature and symbolises Good Fortune and Longevity.
The colour orange gives to the summer sky a more autumnal atmosphere, but the Herons are still flying, waiting for the Spring to come again.

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.
