This is a blue-black obi締め (obi cord) made of Zazan-ori fabric. It's a warm, hand-woven folk craft. The yarn is plant-dyed. It's woven, not a cord. It will keep your obi secure and tied firmly. I purchased it about 3 years ago at a local gallery. It cost 19,800 yen. I have disposed of the box, so it is not included. I have used it a few times, but I will pass it on to someone who will use it next. Length: Approximately 163cm (excluding tassels) Width: Approximately 1.5cm I will pack it carefully.
