I am remaking a woven Nagoya obi. You wear the otaiko (the part that goes over the back) and secure it with a sash belt or obi締め (decorative tie). Please use an obiage (decorative scarf) if desired. Please check the size in the photos. There are no particularly noticeable stains, but there are stains on the plain part of the body wrap that is not visible. I apologize if I have overlooked anything else. There is no core material inside. The body wrap is reversible. Thank you for your understanding of handmade and recycled items. It will be shipped via Yu-packet Post. It will be folded compactly for shipping. Please be careful not to use a blade when opening the package (only an inner bag and an outer bag), as there is no excessive packaging. One of a kind.
