New, genuine silk, Hakatachikuzen Hakata-ori 8-sun Nagoya obi. Quality: 90% silk, 10% polyester (classified fiber) "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 first wove 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 believe this is an item that will elegantly enhance your outfit. This item is freshly woven. This item will be delivered after being sewn with Matsuba tailoring (machine stitching). It will take approximately 24 days.
