"Naturally weaving the wind!" A Nagoya obi from Nakaima Hand-Weaving Studio, a prestigious name in Shuri Hanaori... with certification and a framed finish. Hanaori is a woven fabric brought to Ryukyu from China, and is one of the Shuri weaves, along with Hanakura-ori and Rōton-ori. In the past, only people of high social status could wear it, and among them, Hanaori and Rōton-ori were exclusively for the royal family and nobility. It is a unique floating weave of the Okinawa region, where the warp threads float the weft threads to create small square patterns. The pleasant warmth emanating from the rounded hazel-colored ground, the simple floating weave patterns drawn in a horizontal band composition, the pleasant wind created by the unique square patterns of Hanaori on the silk ground, and the unparalleled refreshing feeling exuded in the design are exceptional! The overflowing freshness is unique to Hanaori. This is a very beautiful item in excellent condition, with only slight tightening marks and faint stains on the white backing, and is an item with proof of reliable quality. This obi incorporates a simple pattern that maximizes the texture of silk while being conscious of the refreshing feel of Southern Island weaving. The design is simple yet visually captivating! A beautiful appearance that everyone will admire, it is a delightful choice for adults who love fashion, for you who love fashion! A "Nagoya obi" is an obi woven with the front and back fabrics together, and is sometimes called a "nine-sun Nagoya obi" or an "eight-sun Nagoya obi" depending on the width of the fabric when it is made. It is an obi that is tied with a single drum knot and can be worn in a wide range of situations, from casual to formal. There are also dyed Nagoya obis, which are dyed on fabrics such as serge. An open finish is one where the back is attached while the body part is left open without folding it. When tying, the front pattern is folded in the middle, so the thickness of the core becomes double, and it can create a volume close to that of a fukuro obi. Also, a framed finish is when the back of the obi is finished like a picture frame, making it difficult to see the lining from the front, and it also has many advantages, such as looking like a hon-fukuro. "Naturally weaving the wind! Hanaori's poem delivered to you," a piece that feels the natural texture and sense of style, is sure to be the center of attention, so please take this opportunity.
