Introducing a genuine Ryukyu Bingata nine-inch Nagoya obi from the Yafuso Bingata Workshop, a long-established workshop in Okinawa that produces Ryukyu Bingata, a traditional craft designated by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry and certified as an Intangible Cultural Property of Okinawa Prefecture, by Sachiko Yafuso. The textured fabric, woven with a delicate seigaiha (wave) pattern, subtly incorporates memorable scenes of the southern islands, such as shisa (lion-dog statues), hibiscus, whale sharks, and pineapples. This obi stands out with its unique splendor, a hallmark of Bingata, where the warmth of careful handwork and bold colors coexist with delicate brushstrokes. The vivid colors of the pigments against the white background and the unique composition make this a very impressive piece. ◆ Includes tailoring ◆ Season: For both lined and unlined kimono ◆ Suitable kimono: Iromuji (solid color kimono), komon (small patterned kimono), and woven kimono ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ◆ Product images are taken as close to the actual colors as possible, but the color may differ slightly from the actual product depending on the screen settings of your computer or smartphone, and the lighting environment of your room. ◆ Completion of tailoring Usually, a fukuro obi (formal obi) takes about 1 to 1.5 weeks A Nagoya obi takes about 2 weeks We require this time. * During busy seasons such as the year-end and New Year holidays, Obon, and Golden Week, it may take more than 10 days.
