Chinen-ke, a workshop that carries on the legacy of the Chinen family, one of the three major Bingata families who served the Ryukyu Kingdom's士族 (shi-zoku, gentry). This is a Bingata fukuro obi (formal obi) created by Toma Chinen, the 10th generation of the family, counting from the first generation, Sekitaka Chinen. It is a masterpiece with a shimmering silver thread and beautifully dyed pine, bamboo, and plum blossoms. There is a signature, but it is stamped upside down on the end. The outer fabric is thin and has a crisp feel (the lining is not see-through), so it is suitable for the seasons of single-layer kimono to lined kimono. With a Japan Wasai Gijutsuin (Japanese Kimono Sewing Technology Institute) tag. There are some areas where the thickness of the warp threads changes, possibly due to knots. Also, there are a few places where the threads appear to be slightly raised (as seen in the images where the green color appears darker), although it is unclear whether this is due to the weaving process or use. There are faint spots of discoloration on the lining of the obi. There are signs of wear from tying, but otherwise, there is no significant damage and it is in beautiful condition. 【Material】Silk 【Color】Chitose Green, etc. 【Size】Width: 32.5cm, Length: 486cm This is a high-quality item, so how about it?
