※※ Price reduced!! I purchased this as a pre-tied obi from an antique kimono shop, but it has been stored at home without being used. You can easily tie a Nagoya obi by tying the strings at the top and bottom in two places, and then using an obi makura (obi pillow), obiage (sash panel), and obijime (sash cord). There is some fraying of the embroidery thread. Please understand that this is an antique obi and has been stored at home before purchasing. I am sorry, but please refrain from price negotiations.
