This is a gentle and lovely obi with scattered cherry blossom petals. My preferred way of coordinating, as I like to match similar colors, is to pair it with the beige tall-size (vertical patterned komon) kimono I have listed previously. Ideally, I'd like to use a beige or a soft light green obi締め (obijime - a cord used to secure the obi) and obiage (a cloth that is used to cover the obi-makura). This obi is perfect for mid-March to mid-April. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but it has been used a few times, so there are some wrinkles from tying. From the te-saki (hand tip) to the triangular part: approximately 2.48cm.
