This item was originally a two-piece obi that my mother had altered and used, and then stored. As you can see in the photos (photo 5), there are some yellowing and stains on the lining, which are typical of antiques. I believe these occurred during storage. The front is clean, so it can be used without any problems. The obi itself is a good quality piece with the weight of the Showa era. It is a two-piece obi, but most of the cords, etc., are missing. It's not in a condition to be used as is, so it will need to be repaired. If you understand the specifications of this obi and are interested, please consider purchasing it.
