Pure silk This is a formal obi (sash) woven with auspicious motifs such as cranes, pine trees, and chrysanthemums. There are fold marks and wear marks from tying. There is no tatoushi (protective paper) or obi box. It will be sent in simple packaging, folded compactly. I have worn it once or twice, but I think there are no noticeable stains or frays. Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing.
