This item has been carefully crafted by a Nishijin textile weaver. It's made with a "matsuba" construction, allowing you to adjust the obi width to your preference. The design features adorable poodles with the Eiffel Tower, and you can choose between the Arc de Triomphe or a poodle pattern for the front of the obi. The color is a slightly glossy, silver-gray. The plain areas also subtly shimmer with what looks like silver thread. This is a woven obi made with meticulous processes. You can enjoy changing which part of the otaiko pattern you display depending on your mood. If you want to casually wear a piece of France, or if your poodle at home looks similar, this is the perfect obi for you!
