Summer item. This is a genuine silk, Hakata-ori, eight-sun Nagoya obi. Quality: 100% silk This item is a storage item. Please understand this before purchasing. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to this. "The origin of Hakata-ori dates back approximately 760 years ago, when Manda Yazaemon of Hakata went to the Yuan Dynasty and acquired techniques such as Kan-ori and Go-ori, and brought them back to Japan. Approximately 360 years after Manda Yazaemon, Takekawa Iemon began weaving obi fabric for the first time, and it is said that he named it Hakata-ori." Hakata-ori obi are known for being easy to tie and, once tied, difficult to loosen. This ease of use is the charm of Hakata-ori. I think this is a piece that will enhance your outfit elegantly. This item will be delivered after being tailored with Matsuba tailoring (machine stitching). It will take about 24 days.
