Size: Standard women's obi

Collaborator: Natsuki Shigeta

An obi is worn with kimono or yukata (informal summer kimono). Wearing yukata out to watch fireworks in the summer is a favorite choice of attire in Japan. Natsuki Shigeta, who designs yukata under her label Tsukikageya, and I collaborated to make Denshoku Obi. The obi has 35 red LED's placed in an in your face manner; a conscious throw back to the 70's. A single AAA will keep you lit through the fireworks, after drinks - until the next morning. The obi is hand made with silk, conductive thread, a custom circuit board and careful handwork to make sure it is soft and durable.

Wear a yukata and go to a fireworks display. Now, which one should I do...

Even after the fireworks are over, the band of illumination still shines. It was created in collaboration with Natsuki Shigeta of Tsukikageya. All hand-made. Using the latest technology, soft and durable finish. 35 red LEDs that will light up until the next morning with AAA. Totally retro. Available at Tsukikageya in Yoyogi Park.
