For the sophisticated woman, "luxury" and "elegance"... Wrapped in noble colors, graceful splendor... We are pleased to introduce a truly wonderful "specially selected obi" featuring the [Tsujigahana] pattern, woven with the [hand-tied dyeing] technique that creates beautiful shadows. As you know, the gorgeous Tsujigahana pattern is always a very popular motif. Combined with the universally flattering color purple, it has become an elegant Tsujigahana design that is loved by everyone. Let's take a moment to explain Tsujigahana... A superb motif that has been loved since the end of the Muromachi period, even after the passage of time. Tsujigahana primarily uses dye-resist dyeing by sewing and tying. It flourished for a short period from the end of the Muromachi period to the beginning of the Edo period, and then disappeared. However, because it is so beautiful, it has been re-evaluated in recent years and is still a very popular pattern, highly coveted by many kimono fans. When you pair this obi with a black formal kimono, a colored formal kimono, or a visiting kimono, it creates a formal look overflowing with elegance, maximizing the beauty of the kimono. Also, when coordinated with a "tsukesage" kimono, a "iromuji" kimono, or an "Edo Komon" kimono, it creates an elegant outfit that highlights a gentle sparkle. For weddings, parties, and other occasions such as shrine visits, the Shichi-Go-San festival, graduations, and entrance ceremonies... The dazzling Tsujigahana's splendor will help you achieve a bright and cheerful look suitable for important occasions. Also, due to its light and comfortable feel, it is perfect for both kimono with linings and single-layer kimono! The dazzling 《Tsujigahana》 that shines wherever you go. For a gorgeous outfit that colors the important scenes of your life... And as a treasured item that will enrich your heart throughout your life...
