Nagoya obi Nagoya construction Taiko pattern The material is presumed to be pure silk, but it is not certain. Length: Approximately 376 cm Width: Approximately 30.5 cm Please excuse minor errors. This is a dyed obi with a modern sensibility, featuring a dignified black rose hand-painted on a beige background. The central rose is hand-painted, conveying the energy of each brushstroke. The surrounding area is expressed with gold glitter and deep green colors in a blurred effect, shimmering delicately with the light. As it is constructed without obi-shin (interlining), it is very soft and conforms easily to the body. There are overall light stains and wrinkles. Small stains are scattered, some of which extend to the patterned areas. This item is offered at a special price considering its condition. Recommended for those who can enjoy it as vintage charm, or for those who are considering remaking it into a bag or interior accessory, utilizing the beautiful hand-painted pattern. Pairs well with Tsumugi, Komon, and antique kimonos. When paired with kimonos in subdued colors, the hand-painted roses become a modern focal point. The soft texture and painterly design are also wonderful for remakes into tapestries or cushion covers. We strive to make the images as close to the actual color as possible, but there may be slight differences due to monitor and lighting conditions. Please be aware that there may be some storage odor due to long-term storage. If you are concerned, please air it out in the shade or have it professionally cleaned. For wrinkles, please use a pressing cloth and a medium-temperature iron. The undulations in the fabric will lessen with wear. It will be shipped compactly packed. If the obi is difficult to fold and pack, we may change the folding method. We prioritize price reductions for followers and bulk purchases. For single item purchases, we may offer a small discount depending on the situation.
