It's genuine, but I have no way to prove it. A super-wide (belt is 8 cm, buckle is approximately 13.5 cm long and 12 cm wide) bright red genuine leather belt that I used when I was edgy. Both the belt itself and the buckle have weight to them. It goes very well with a simple one-piece dress and slightly eccentric Japanese-Western fusion kimono. Waist size is 61 cm to 72 cm, and there are signs of use around the holes (see photo 5). If there's someone who can make good use of it, please do.
