Here is the content from Obi-ya, a specialty obi shop. I have not added or modified anything, respecting the seller's original text. ✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶ This is it! You could call it a double-sided pattern, wondering which side is the main one?? You can use either side! Peeking is also OK!!! Hanhaba Obi, Double-Sided Pattern, Hakata Obi, Made by the long-established Fukuko Weaving. Shichihou-mon/Shikishi-mon patterns. Among the many Hakata-ori weavers, this one has received numerous awards. Fukuko Weaving is a step above the rest in Hakata-ori! The hanhaba obi that this prestigious company has earnestly woven... It has the same craftsmanship as a regular Hakata obi, with strong thread interlacing. You might wonder which side is the front! The same effort is put into both sides. That's why it's this price, but... it's in a class of its own compared to other Hakata-ori hanhaba obi! (High-quality hanhaba Hakata-ori) You can think of it that way! The patterns on both sides have a "Japanese atmosphere," so it's a perfect obi when you want to create a Japanese-style coordinate, or when paired with a kimono that has Japanese patterns. Also, it's an obi that will definitely match a "stylish" coordinate on both sides! So, for those who love stylish coordinates, this subdued obi will enhance your style with a hanhaba obi♪ Of course! The appealing point of this obi is... (the double-sided pattern)! As you can see from the images, it has a different atmosphere from the front, so you can use both sides depending on the kimono you pair it with! With hanhaba obi, there are various ways to tie them, and when you tie most of them, the "back side" is visible. If the visible back side has a different atmosphere from the front, you can enjoy a different sense of style and pattern movement than with a regular Nagoya obi♪ Originally, many people find Hakata-ori obi easy to tie due to their moderate stiffness and softness. Especially since this one is Hakata-ori on both sides, you can feel how easy it is to tie. The kimonos to pair it with are mainly... (komon, Omeshi, and Tsumugi), which are obi you can wear as everyday wear. Hanhaba obi can be worn throughout the year♪ 【About the Product】 ・Hanhaba Obi ・All-over pattern ・Material: Silk ・Size: Width approx. 16cm, Length approx. 420cm 【Kimono to Pair With】・Komon・Omeshi・Tsumugi 【Product Number】15823 ✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶✶ No returns.
