I liked the pattern and purchased this item used. It has been returned from a professional kimono cleaning service. Compared to the reverse side, the surface color appears somewhat dull, but according to the specialist I use, this is the best they could do. If you are good at sewing, you could reverse the front and back by restitching, or remake it into a hanhaba obi (half-width obi). Alternatively, if you are not too concerned, you could use it as is. I have kept it at home, unworn after cleaning, intending to try remaking it myself, but I haven't had the time, so I would like to pass it on to someone who likes it. The price of the item is based only on the cleaning fee from the specialist, so I would be happy if someone could make use of it. There are some loose threads on the end of the tare (hanging part) and the te (hand part). Size (approx./cm): Width 30 x Length 340 *Please forgive any slight errors as this is amateur measurement.
