Pure Silk Blue-Gray Katazome Nagoya Obi This is a refined, pale blue-gray katazome (stencil-dyed) Nagoya obi. Due to the dye, there is a slight unevenness in the base color on the first wrap of the front (see photo 6), but the second wrap and the taiko (back) are beautiful. I think this is a somewhat unusual obi with a gentle color. It would look lovely with light-colored kimonos. Approximately 30.5 x 347 cm
