This is an easy-to-tie Kai no Kuchi style obi (one-touch kaku obi). You can easily tie it around your waist like a belt, just by fastening the Velcro. Wrap it around and secure it with Velcro. This is a convenient kaku obi that can be easily worn even by beginners who have never tied an obi before. I think you can tie it securely. It has a simple and clean Kenjo pattern on a navy blue background, a traditional design of Hakata-ori. Please use it with yukata as well as summer kimono. Enjoy the stylish men's kimono style. For shipping, the obi will be folded small and sent via Takkyubin Compact. (Photos 9-11) The sewing is probably done in China, but since there are no certificates or labels, the country of manufacture is unknown. The material is rayon. Dimensions: Length: 251 cm to the center of the Kai no Kuchi knot, Width: 9 cm Please note that there may be slight variations. I'm including a new haori string made of the same material (rayon). This is a new, boxed tsukuri obi and haori string. There appear to be no stains or dirt. We check for stains and dirt as carefully as possible, but there may be some oversights. Thank you for your understanding. These are digital camera images. Please note that the colors may appear different depending on your monitor.
