I purchased a used tsumugi obi and upcycled it by cutting away the stained parts. I made a tsukuri-obi (pre-tied obi) with the stained pattern on the inside. I believe the visible parts are stain-free. I'm selling it because I no longer use it, now that I can tie an otaiko (drum) knot. I've used it about twice. This is a handmade item, so please understand before purchasing. Thank you for looking.
