Weddings, parties, tea ceremonies, lessons, dinners, year-end/New Year's parties, theater outings, concerts... Adult women often have special occasions where they need to dress up. You might want to wear a kimono to such events, but perhaps you've wondered what to wear. This very elegant piece will set you apart from others and give you confidence in any situation. Furthermore, it's a luxurious creation from the prestigious Nishijin-ori weaver, [Yasaka Orimono]. We are pleased to introduce a versatile [reversible fukuro obi (formal obi)] that allows you to enjoy two different obi styles. This obi is a creation of [Yasaka Orimono], a long-established Nishijin weaver founded in 1923. Yasaka Orimono excels at uniquely arranging various dyeing and weaving and art pieces, and they create many elegant fukuro obi, Nagoya obi, and hanhaba obi. In particular, this obi achieves an outstanding finish that combines "elegance" befitting adult women with a "light and comfortable feel." The obi fabric is colored in a popular [pale greige] one-tone, which goes with any kimono or accessory. Beautifully displayed on it is the ever-popular motif, elegant [karahana (Chinese flower) pattern] arranged in an ichimatsu (checkerboard) pattern... Furthermore, the lining is woven with a simple modern motif, resulting in a refined obi style suitable for adult women. When you pair this obi with a visiting kimono, a formal kimono, a plain-colored kimono, or an Edo Komon, you'll achieve a stylish look that's different from the usual formal obi. When coordinating with your existing tsumugi or komon, you can enjoy a "stylish and glamorous look for adults" that stands out from the crowd. However, since the certification etc. were not included, we have offered a special discounted price this time. Please take this opportunity to wear this exceptional piece from Yasaka and enjoy a "stylish and glamorous look" that will captivate those around you. ~ Kamakura Fuwari ~ [Dimensions] Length: 440 cm Width: 31 cm [Material/Condition] Silk This is a very beautiful item, worn only once.
