Artist-made, Hige-tsumugi hand-painted Japanese garden obi. This obi was made from stored material. Like a shioze obi, it is soft and tends to lose its shape while being tied. It has been securely fastened for easy wearing. Even beginners can easily enjoy tying this obi. Velcro has been attached to the back of the taiko (drum) part. This prevents it from slipping down. Hige-tsumugi is a rare material. It is sure to catch the attention of those around you. Please enjoy the gentle texture of Hige-tsumugi.
