This is a Koshino Tsumugi Nagoya obi from Yamakoshi Village, Niigata Prefecture. The horizontal striped pattern features gradations that create a sense of depth, and variations in the thickness of the stripes, showcasing advanced dyeing techniques. I think it would be perfect for adding a touch of style to your casual wear, such as tsumugi, Omeshi, or Komon. I bought this Koshino Tsumugi obi because I wanted to wear one, but it didn't match my kimono, so I only wore it once and have kept it in storage. It is in beautiful condition with no noticeable wear, but I hope you will consider this before purchasing. Thank you for looking.
