Nishijin Fukuro Obi (Japanese Formal Belt) High-quality, Shumitsu-tsuzure (a type of weaving) Very fine tsuzure-ori (woven) Made in Nishijin, Kyoto by Hashimoto Teru A very expensive Fukuro Obi Pure silk Unused Unsewn Width: Approximately 31cm Includes Obi-shin (belt core) insertion tailoring. The Obi-shin (cotton) is inserted into the belt during tailoring. Hand-sewn tailoring. We recommend Obi-shin insertion tailoring to take good care of your Obi. If you use the Obi without an Obi-shin, it will initially have a crisp, beautiful shape, but after several uses, the Obi will become worn and tired. The seams at both ends will shift, causing twisting and distortion, making it soft and flimsy. When you wear the Obi, it will lack shape and feel limp. It will damage the fabric and ruin the shape. Considering the lifespan and beauty of the Obi, we will insert the Obi-shin. It takes about 15 days to complete the tailoring.
