This is a luxurious, formal obi made of genuine silk, woven with shimmering gold threads on a black background. I received this from an acquaintance a while ago, but I haven't had the opportunity to use it, so it has been stored at home for a long time. The black and gold threads create a gorgeous obi with a classic design, making it suitable for a wide range of ages and various colors and patterns of kimono. It also allows for unique styling. I believe the pattern is "Sarasah Hanakaragusa-mon" (Arabesque Floral Pattern), but I am not an expert, so I am not certain. It has a shimmering, glitter-like effect, and the gold threads on the black background are luxurious. Despite the bold pattern, it also has an air of elegance, and I believe it is a rare color and design that is not often seen. As I do not own any kimono that would match this obi, I am offering it for sale to someone who will make good use of it. (I mostly wear kimono for the tea ceremony.) I apologize that I cannot accommodate requests for price reductions. 【Product Details】 Rokutsuu Fukuro Obi (Six-panel Formal Obi) / Genuine Silk / Kinran (Gold Brocade) Length: 30.5 cm x 4 m (Please note that these are amateur measurements) There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but it is not new, so there is some wear and tear, wrinkles from use, and folding creases. Although I have kept it clean, there is an odor characteristic of genuine silk kimono (like naphthalene) that it had from the time I received it. I have checked it, but there may be some oversights. I hope that those who understand that this is a used, second-hand item, and that it has been stored at home by an amateur, will consider purchasing it. There are no smokers or pets in the household. #Obi #Kinran #FukuroObi
