Beautiful obi (sash) made into a tsukuri-obi (pre-tied obi)! It has a pattern of thin horizontal stripes on an off-white background. The design is understated and simple. The obi fabric is thin and soft. I think it's easy to match with any color of kimono. The photos are paired with a separately sold visiting kimono. With a two-piece tsukuri-obi, the body part can be tightened firmly. There's no need to worry about the otaiko (the back part of the obi) coming undone. I recommend it for kimono beginners. Here, I've chosen a material for the string that's easy to tie. It's mainly handmade from white silk fabric or juban (undershirt) fabric. Also, to give it a natural look like a hand-tied obi, I've added a curve to the top of the otaiko. Body part length: 189 cm Width: 17 cm Otaiko length: 37 cm Width: 31 cm
