This is a "Kawari Kuchi" braided obi締め (sash tie) from Domyo's Yusoku Kumihimo collection. The following is an excerpt from the Domyo website describing a similar obi締め: This obi締め was created when the cords attached to a tachi sword, which was in the possession of Aso Shrine in Kyushu, were restored. The cords were braided with skipped sections to replicate the deteriorated parts, resulting in an obi締め with an irregular pattern reminiscent of the bark of a tree pecked by a woodpecker. This item appears to be unused, with no noticeable stains or damage, and is in beautiful condition. [Material] Silk [Colors] Off-white, cream, light green, brown, orange [Size] Width 1.3cm, Length approximately 148cm (excluding tassels) This is a highly recommended, high-quality obi締め from Domyo, with a suggested retail price of 53,900 yen.
