This is the Karagumi "Nishiyama" by Michiaki Domyo, a master of Yusoku Kumihimo. This item comes with tags. It features a glossy, reddish-brown color reminiscent of beni-kaba (crimson birch), with a pattern of distant mountains in shiro-neri (white), shirocha (light brown), and kame-nozoki (pale blue). The gentle color scheme evokes a sense of security, as if enveloped in a large hand. Although it is a used item, it shows little sign of wear, with only one or two uses. There is no noticeable damage. For reference, I have taken a photo comparing it with an unused Nishiyama. The unused item, which does not have a tag, is from an older era. The overall color is subdued, with a smoky, understated charm, giving it a wabi-sabi impression. The passage of time adds depth and new appeal, changing the impression, which is one of the joys of owning high-quality items. If you prefer the unused item without a tag, please leave a comment, and I will list it at the same price. If you purchase it together with other items, I will discount the shipping cost.
