Kusabana—grass flowers—captures the quiet chaos of a meadow in full bloom. The motif is ancient Japanese textile language for natural abundance and growth, rendered here in the scattered arrangement that makes weavers' hands ache. There's no pattern, only intention.

This obi came from a kimono maker's studio in Kyoto, woven on a traditional loom decades ago. The fabric has memory in its threads—the kind you can feel when you drape it across your chest. We sourced it because it moves the way music moves: organic, alive, never the same twice.

Each strap is cut and finished by hand in our Hiroshima workshop. The hardware is brass. The weaving is centuries old. Your guitar will wear history that doesn't announce itself.

Ships worldwide. One made. Never repeated.

Past Life

Kusabana — wild grasses and small flowers — was a favorite motif of summer kimono and seasonal obi: quiet, unshowy, alive. We hunted this piece down at a Japanese vintage shop. Its previous owner is unknown to us. Its previous occasion is unknown to us. What remains is the pattern, the patina, and the next song you'll play with it.

Specs + provenance

The details that turn a strap from visual object into real gear.

Motif meaning
Kusabana depicts wildflowers and grasses in natural, scattered arrangements—a common choice in obi weaving because the organic layout creates visual movement across the strap without overwhelming your view of the guitar neck.
Care instructions
Treat it like a performance accessory made from decorative textile. Avoid heavy friction, prolonged moisture, direct sun, and harsh cleaners. After use, wipe gently with a dry cloth and store in a cool, dry place.

Behind the build

The textile gets the attention. The feel is what earns repeat use.

Obi Guitar Factory is not trying to make decorative straps that look interesting for one photo and disappear after that. The strap still needs to sit flat, feel stable, and hold up through real playing.

That balance between visual force and practical comfort is the whole point of the build, and it starts in Hiroshima with one bench and one pair of hands.
