Nishijin-ori, a fukuro obi (bag-style obi) from Yoshimura Orimono. (Nishijin certification no: 286) This is a new, unsewn item. "Nurenuki" is a representative obi of Yoshimura Orimono. To give the obi fabric firmness, instead of using glue for the weft (ground weft), a technique is used where water is added during weaving. This creates a unique texture with the natural suppleness of silk and a firm body. Kimono Sunao featured this obi on YouTube. https://youtu.be/YFzO2Xw_NCs?si=jyvhztaXaJhOutKH The subdued grayish-purple background has a pattern that appears and disappears depending on the light, and there are also rabbits hidden within the geometric patterns. Embroidered flowers and boats are woven into the colored paper sections. The color in the first photo is the closest to the actual color. It has a thin and light texture, making it perfect for the single-layer kimono season. Although it's still hot, once the autumnal equinox passes, you might want to incorporate autumn colors from your obi (^o^) How about preparing for autumn? ◉Size and Material Rokutsuu fukuro obi, silk Length: 460cm Width: 31cm Weight: 531g (Length and weight are for the unsewn state.
