This is a fukuro obi (formal obi) featuring Sagara embroidery, one of the three major types of Chinese embroidery. Sagara embroidery, also known as "tama-nui" (ball stitch), is a technique where the thread is pulled from the back of the fabric, knotted, and repeated to create the design. The elegant and vibrant colors depict a Genjiguruma (carriage wheel) pattern in embroidery. You can fully enjoy the intricate finish unique to Sagara embroidery. This obi is thin and lightweight, so you won't get tired even after wearing it for a long time. You can enjoy a beautiful and stylish back view. It will enhance your outfit when coordinated with visiting kimonos, tsukesage kimonos, iromuji (single-colored kimonos), komon (small-patterned kimonos), and woven kimonos. We hope you will enjoy wearing it. ● Color: Black with gold thread ● Size: Length: Approximately 452cm Width: Approximately 31cm Please note that there may be slight variations due to amateur measurements. ● Material: Silk (excluding metallic thread) ● Condition: Beautiful condition with no signs of use.
