This is a hanhaba obi (half-width obi) featuring the Kenjo pattern of authentic Hakata-ori. It has the Hakata-ori Industrial Association's certification seal (green seal). I've used it once or twice, and after that, I've kept it rolled up in a chest of drawers. There are creases from being folded, but I don't think there are any scratches or stains. Thank you very much.
