Thank you for viewing. This is a formal "Aochi Happo Kankou Nishiki" obi (sash). It is a luxurious Nishiki weave using plenty of gold thread, and the patterns spreading in all directions are very gorgeous. It is a perfect obi for formal occasions such as tomesode (formal black kimono) and homongi (visiting kimono). Delicate patterns are woven on a calm gold background, and it is a beautiful obi that shimmers depending on the viewing angle. Condition: There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but there are faint storage stains on the lining (see image). There are fold marks. There is no problem with wearing it, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details. Feel free to comment. Thank you very much.
