This is a dyed obi (sash) that showcases the techniques of traditional crafts, featuring katazome (stencil dyeing) with itome (fine line) detailing. The ground pattern is woven, the design is katazome, and the addition of itome makes each piece unique. The itome detailing on both ends of the katazome adds depth and dimension to the entire obi, significantly increasing its value. Itome is applied to both the back and front of the taiko (drum) section. The ground pattern features an elegant checkered design that exudes a refined luster. The basic black color creates a modern and sophisticated impression. The lining is designed for year-round use, making it suitable for various occasions regardless of the season. It is perfect for紬系 (tsumugi-kei) fabrics like Oshima Tsumugi and Yuki Tsumugi, allowing you to enjoy a stylish and urban look. It has been carefully stored, but please understand that it is a home-kept item. As it is a one-of-a-kind item, please consider purchasing it soon if you are interested. - Pearl-tone processed - Cleaned - Comes with a JOTATO SAITO original tatoushi (wrapping paper) (Will be folded in half for shipping)
