Thank you for viewing. This is an unworn shioze obi (silk crepe obi). My mother loved kimono, and my grandmother was the proprietress of a Japanese inn. Following in their footsteps, my eldest sister also took an interest and became a certified kimono dresser. I, of course, also love kimono, but I'm not an expert. Thank you for your understanding. It has been stored in a paulownia chest with desiccant and anti-mold agents, which are replaced monthly. It will be folded and shipped. Thank you again for your consideration.
