This is a top-of-the-line, embroidered fukuro obi (formal obi) that I fell in love with and had made a few years ago, on the recommendation of the manager of Tokyo Masuiwaya. I have never worn it, as I lost the opportunity to do so. Due to the current labor shortage, these high-quality embroidered fukuro obi are rarely seen, making this a valuable item. The stunning beauty of this obi, which cannot be fully conveyed in the photos, features all hand-embroidery. ◆ Luxurious Hand-Knitted Key Lace ◆ 【Shantou Embroidery】 Shantou embroidery originated in Suzhou, a town in the eastern part of Guangdong Province, China. It is one of the three major types of Chinese embroidery and is said to be a unique evolution of European embroidery techniques. Shantou embroidery is highly regarded worldwide, representing a fusion of European sensibilities and ancient Chinese techniques. 【Suzhou Embroidery】 Suzhou, China, flourished as the capital of Wu 2,500 years ago, and embroidery has been thriving there since ancient times. The exquisite techniques of Suzhou are still considered the world's best. More than 50 colors of thread are used on a single bolt of kimono fabric, with threads as fine as 1/3 the thickness of a hair, each embroidered by hand. 【Sagara Embroidery】 This is one of the three major types of Chinese embroidery. Sagara embroidery is a technique in which threads are pulled from the back of the fabric and tied to create knots, which are then layered to create patterns. It requires a great deal of skill and time, but because there are no loose threads and the knots do not snag, it is more durable than any other embroidery. It is also known as "tama-nui" (ball stitching) because the knots are sewn in like balls. The refined elegance, without any luster, is so remarkable that it's hard to believe it uses the same thread as Suzhou embroidery, and it is considered the best technique for Japanese kimonos. The entire piece features a beige color with Shantou, Suzhou, and Sagara embroidery, as well as luxurious crochet lace. I hope this will catch the eye of someone who appreciates its value. Since I have never worn it, there are no creases, but please refrain from purchasing if you are overly sensitive or particular, as it has been stored in a chest of drawers and at home. Please feel free to ask any questions in the comments. Please note that I am not a professional from a business or specialty store regarding packaging. Please understand that it will be folded for shipping.
