I'm decluttering my parents' home. This item was purchased by my 91-year-old mother, who intended to make something herself... so it's been stored for quite a while. She seems to have kept it carefully, and there are no noticeable stains, but... since it's been stored at home for a long time, I'm setting the price low. Regarding the obi (sash): I'm not sure if you can tell from the photos... It has a lovely pattern... and you can see the woven threads on the back (photos 9 and 10). My mother says you can fold it in half and use it as a hanhaba obi (half-width obi)... but I don't really understand. m(_ _)m Perhaps the buyer will know better... Please understand that this item has been stored at home for a long time... and that there may be something I've overlooked... Only those who can accept this, please purchase.
