This is a Kyoto Karaori (woven silk fabric) manufacturer that is a purveyor to the Imperial Household and provides costumes for productions like "Ooku." I often purchased Yamaguchi Bijutsu's obi (sash) because I liked their refined style. There are slight signs of wear from tying, but no noticeable stains. (Material) Silk (Dimensions cm) Width: 31 Length: 452 Dimensions are approximate. This is a famous manufacturer that is a purveyor to the Imperial Household and provides items for numerous television programs and stage productions, so I believe it will last a lifetime. I personally felt dignified when wearing it. This one is relatively more affordable, and the other obi I am listing is a higher-grade obi. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details or are hesitant about used items. Type...Obi (sash) Obi/Accessories...Fukuro Obi (formal obi) Material...Silk
