My mother, a Japanese dancer, my wife, and my younger sister are selling kimonos and obi that they no longer wear. These items were purchased through connections with kimono shops, but are unused and will be offered at a bargain price. This is a reversible, all-over pattern fukuro obi made by the long-established Kyoto brand "Kyo Gofuku Hosoo." It is made of cream beige "Hanaori" (flower weave) silk from wild silk (muga silk) from India, with a striped patchwork design. This is a masterpiece hand-woven with top-class Indian "wild silk muga silk." Compared to domestic silk, wild silk has a luster and a crisp feel. Each fiber is thick, and it is said to be very durable even after refining. The obi fabric becomes more familiar with use, and the luster increases. Wild silk is fed on the sal tree instead of mulberry leaves. The amount of silk thread that can be obtained from wild silk is very small, about one-fiftieth of domestic silk, because it is not protected from natural enemies like domestic silk. The amount is also decreasing year by year. The fine fibers, crisp feel, and luster of this rare wild silk are utilized in a "kasumi bokashi" (mist gradation) design, with a striped patchwork weave and natural colors of cream and beige. This is a masterpiece of high-quality Indian wild silk. *With certification and selvedge. The obi core is made of silk.
