This is an obi (sash) I purchased a few years ago from Gofukuya Sandotcom. It has been stored unused since I bought it and has never been tied. It arrived folded, so there are some fold marks. Also, although it's not very noticeable, there may be some original color unevenness. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details. The beige side features Zen paintings, and you can enjoy two patterns: "Enso (Circle) Painting" and "Noyukinkizu (Toilet in the Field)." The brown side is a solid color. It's a stylish obi with subtle humor. How about wearing it for a tea ceremony? Sengai Gibon "Enso Painting" (Sengai Gibon, Ensouzu) The inscription reads, "Kore kufute ochamaire" (Let's eat this and then have tea). Does this mean this circle is a rice cake? A steamed bun? What happens when you eat the circle that represents enlightenment? This is a representative example of Sengai's witty Enso. "Noyukinkizu (Toilet in the Field)" The inscription reads, "Hito wa kon so fu na" (It seems no one is coming). Some people might be surprised that he would depict such a scene, but it's a humorous work typical of Sengai, who declared "Gaiga Muho" (no rules in painting). —— Material: Outer fabric: 100% polyester / Lining: 100% cotton Size: Length: Approximately 380cm / Width: Approximately 31.5cm The crepe-like fabric used for the Kyo-bag obi has a matte texture and is a high-quality polyester material that is similar to the feel of silk. ——
