This is a fukuro obi from Nishijin-ori, Yoshimura Textile. (Nishijin Sho-shi No: 286) This is a new, unsewn item. "Nure-nuki" is a representative obi of Yoshimura Textile. It is a technique where water is used instead of glue for the weft (ji-nuki) to give the obi fabric a firm texture, and it is woven with water. Its charm lies in its unique texture, which combines the natural suppleness of silk with a firm body. Kimono Sunao interviewed them on YouTube. https://youtu.be/YFzO2Xw_NCs?si=jyvhztaXaJhOutKH The calm horizontal pattern in ash purple has a subtle texture that appears and disappears depending on the light. Among the geometric patterns, you can find little rabbits. Flowers and boats are woven with embroidery in the colored sections. The first photo is closest to the actual color. It has a light and airy texture, perfect for the unlined season. Although it's still hot, once Risshu (start of autumn) has passed, you'll want to incorporate autumn colors into your obi. (^) How about for your autumn preparations? ◉ Size and Material Rokutsu fukuro obi, pure silk Length: 460cm Width: 31cm Weight: 531g (This is the length and weight in an unsewn state.
