This is a stylish, pre-tied obi made of lustrous black saya-gata patterned silk with red shibori (tie-dye) accents. ^_^ It's a very convenient pre-tied obi for lessons or outings when you're short on time♪ It's lightweight, so you won't get tired. The tortoise shell and bamboo leaf pattern means it can be worn in any season. It's the season for shibori obi to shine. The black base makes it easy to match and gives a slimming effect (*◒`*) This obi has been custom-made but never worn, so it's unused, however, there is slight glue residue visible on the white parts of the shibori. This will not affect wearability.
