This item is likely intended for use by Tibetan residents in Japan, as it is used as a waistband/sash for wearing the Tibetan national costume, the Chupa. This particular version is worn for special occasions. However, the embroidery design is beautiful, so it could also be used with Japanese kimonos or even as a scarf. It is new and unused, but was taken out of its bag for photography. It will be folded to fit into an A4-sized envelope for shipping.
