Brand new and ready to wear! Luxurious! High-quality Sagara embroidery (Otaiko) fukuro obi (belt) Condition: Brand new, ready to wear Material: Silk Finished length: Approximately 4.45 meters Color: Gold Sagara embroidery is a technique where threads are pulled from the back of the fabric and tied to create knots, which are then connected to form patterns. Also known as tama-nui (ball stitching), it requires a great deal of effort and time to produce. Unlike other types of embroidery where the threads are raised, Sagara embroidery is less prone to snagging and is considered more durable than any other embroidery. Its appeal lies in its three-dimensional effect and refined beauty. The supple obi fabric is adorned with gold hiki-haku (gold leaf application). The otaiko and body sections feature luxurious Sagara embroidery in colors such as pale pink, wisteria, dark brown, light blue, and grayish-green, depicting imperial fan motifs, imperial court carriages, phoenixes, and chrysanthemums.
