Summer item, genuine silk, Hakat-ori (Hakata weave) 8-sun Nagoya obi. Quality: 100% silk This item is a stored item. Please understand this before purchasing. Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous. "The origin of Hakata-ori dates back approximately 760 years ago, when Manda Yazaemon of Hakata went to the Yuan Dynasty and acquired techniques such as Kan-ori and Go-ori, and brought them back to Japan. Approximately 360 years after Manda Yazaemon, Takekawa Iemon began weaving obi fabric and named it Hakata-ori." Hakata-ori obi are known for being easy to tie and, once tied, difficult to loosen. This ease of handling is the charm of Hakata-ori. I think this is a piece that will enhance your outfit elegantly. This item will be delivered after being tailored with Matsuba tailoring (machine stitching). It will take about 24 days.
