Thank you for viewing this item. This is a brand new, unused obijime (decorative cord for a kimono obi) made of Saga-Nishiki (a type of woven fabric) with silk and gold thread. It was part of my mother's dowry, but it has never been used and has remained in its wooden box. Inside the wooden box, it is further wrapped in plastic. It appears to have been purchased from a shop called "Kaneko" in Osaka. Although it is new and unused, it has been stored at home. Please understand this. Please note that it will be shipped without the box. Thank you for your understanding. #SagaNishiki #Silk #Obijime #Dowry #JapaneseAccessories #Kimono Type...Japanese accessories (obijime/kanzashi etc.) Material...Pure silk
