Item: Genuine silk, Hakat-ori, 8-sun Nagoya obi. Quality: 90% silk 10% polyester (other fibers) "The origin of Hakat-ori dates back approximately 760 years. Manda Yazaemon of Hakata went to the Yuan Dynasty and acquired techniques such as Kan-ori and Go-ori, and brought them back to Japan. Approximately 360 years after Manda Yazaemon, Takekawa Iemon began weaving obi fabric for the first time, and it is said that he named it Hakat-ori." Hakat-ori obi are known for being easy to tie and, once tied, difficult to loosen. This ease of handling is the charm of Hakat-ori. I believe this is an item that will elegantly enhance your outfit.
