Retail suggested retail price: ¥298,000 Unsewn. New. This is a new, unsewn item. It is a masterpiece of traditional craft (top-class hon-nori itome yuzen) that has been exquisitely crafted. The design is the Rinpa school's Red and White Plum Blossom motif, one of the most representative designs in this world, depicting the red and white plum blossoms that celebrate early spring, one of Japan's four seasons. The base color is charcoal gray, making it suitable for almost any age, and it is a superb dyed obi that can be enjoyed according to your preference. Of course, the taiko (back) and stomach sections are made to be as substantial as a fukuro obi (formal obi), especially the stomach section, with the Kansai style (with branches) and Kanto style (only red and white plum blossoms) measuring 40cm in length. It can be worn from as early as December and is best worn until the end of February. Regarding Processing Fee Revisions We considered raising the processing fee (premium hand-sewn tailoring and obi core) in the first year of Reiwa, but we have managed to absorb the price increase through our corporate efforts. However, as a result of this difficult decision, we have decided to revise the processing fee (¥11,000 including tax, for premium hand-sewn tailoring and obi core) from June 1, the seventh year of Reiwa. We have decided that this is unavoidable due to the current rise in various expenses. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. April 1, the seventh year of Reiwa.

The tailoring period is expected to be 20-25 days, but please note that we will proceed with the processing once we receive notification from Mercari that "payment has been confirmed from the customer." - Design: From the Rinpa Red and White Plum Blossom design - Colors: Red, White, Pink - Style: Early Spring Design - Material: Fabric is Gosen - Technique: Traditional Craft
