This chabu / tea runner is an example of mottainai in action. Crafted from a traditional vintage Japanese obi belt, this piece brings new life to a fabric that might have otherwise been forgotten.
The chabu features a striking black base with elegant golden threads woven throughout, creating a stunning gradient that adds depth to your tea table. What makes this chabu even more special is that each side of the obi belt is different, so both sides of the tea runner offer a unique look. You can flip it over to match your mood or the occasion, giving you two beautiful designs in one.
Perfect for adding a touch of Japanese tradition to your tea ceremony or simply elevating your everyday tea moments, this chabu is more than just a table runner—it’s a piece of history, revived and ready to be cherished again.

Since it’s made from a vintage item, you may find small stains or marks that speak to its history. But each piece is carefully selected to ensure that only the best parts of the obi are used, giving you a chabu that’s both beautiful and full of character.
