Pure Silk Karaori (woven silk fabric) Flying Cranes Fan and Floral Pattern Gold Thread Maru Obi (full-width obi) 384 x 30.5 cm Base color: Beige This maru obi fabric was owned by my mother and was made into an obi nearly 20 years ago by my grandmother for my personal use. I've worn it about 5 times with formal attire like visiting kimonos and iro-tomesode (colored formal kimonos). The obi fabric itself is an antique piece from my grandmother's collection, and the material and pattern are rarely seen nowadays. I hope you will take it in hand and enjoy it. There are some minor signs of wear from tying, slight wrinkles from knots, creases from folding, faint fold lines, and pressure marks from storage. However, it doesn't look dirty, and overall it's in good condition for an antique piece. Suitable for tomesode (formal black kimono), iro-tomesode, iro-muji (single-colored kimono), visiting kimonos, tsukesage (semi-formal kimono), and furisode (long-sleeved kimono). Although it's a sturdy fabric, it's soft against the skin, so it tightens well and is perfect for decorative knots! How about it for your daughter's formal attire? Maru obi doesn't require worrying about pattern matching, and it's really easy to tie. Thank you very much.
