This is a dark reddish-brown flat-woven obijime (sash cord). It is unused, but the tassel cover shifted during storage, causing a bend in the middle of the tassel. Compared to other obijime I am selling, the weave seems a little loose. How about using it as an accent color for your outfit? If you purchase this item, I will give you a free gift of the light pinkish-gray obijime in the photo. This one also seems to have a slightly looser weave and is softer. I have used it a few times, and the tassels are a bit messy, but it's an elegant and beautiful color, so I hope you will feel free to use it.
