This is a gold obi (sash) with a pattern reminiscent of picture scrolls from the Heian period. The reverse side is solid gold. It has been stored at home for several years. There is a small stain and a crease on the reverse side, but in my personal opinion, it shouldn't significantly affect the way it looks when worn. The photos show it tied in an otaiko musubi (drum knot), but it can also be used for coming-of-age ceremonies. It looks stylish and cool when tied in a chic way, and elegant when tied simply. It can also be used with a black formal kimono for tea ceremonies, Shichi-Go-San (Children's Day), and weddings. Please purchase if you understand that this item has been stored at home by a private individual. - Design: Gold base with various traditional patterns and floral embroidery - Material: Silk - Features: Fine embroidery and colorful design Thank you for viewing.
