I'm not very knowledgeable about kimonos, but the person who recommended it said it was a beautiful, gorgeous obi (sash) suitable for a furisode (long-sleeved kimono), so I purchased it used. As you can see in photos 8 and 9, there are some faint stains overall. However, the obi's color scheme is yellow with orange embroidery, so I personally don't think they are very noticeable. Please understand this. The embroidery pattern is the same on the front and back. Width: 32cm Length: 397cm I plan to pack it folded and protected from water for shipping.
