New, Ready-to-Wear Nishijin-ori Fukuro Obi (Six-sided Pattern) Nishijin Textile Certificate Number: 1835, Made by Hakujyuen Cotton core construction. This fukuro obi features a pattern that has been published in "Utsukushii Kimono" (Beautiful Kimono) magazine. The obi features an elegant color scheme with a design of paulownia, bamboo, and phoenix woven into the fabric. The finish of the weave gives a sense of formality, making it a suitable item for a woman's attire. It can be used with iro-tomesode (formal colored kimono), homongi (visiting kimono), iro-muji (colored kimono without pattern), and tsukesage (semi-formal kimono). As it is from a weaving house that has been featured in "Utsukushii Kimono" and other publications, I believe you will enjoy this exquisite piece. Suitable for weddings, ceremonies, first tea ceremonies of the year, parties, greetings, theater visits, accompanying children to entrance/graduation ceremonies and Shichi-Go-San (Seven-Five-Three Festival), etc.
