This is a genuine Hakata-ori obi, a type of traditional Japanese textile, made by the dyeing and weaving artist Hisashi Komori of Komori Kusakizome Kobo, a designated intangible cultural property of Amagi City, Fukuoka Prefecture. This is a hand-dyed, plant-dyed obi featuring a "jabara" (bellows) pattern. The precisely woven jabara pattern gives it a high-class feel, making it an exquisite piece! There is a storage crease at around 79cm from the end of the obi. This may be visible depending on how you create the otaiko (drum) part of the obi. Otherwise, it is in beautiful condition with no noticeable stains or damage. 【Material】Silk 【Color】Off-white 【Size】Width: 31cm, Length: 377cm This off-white jabara pattern obi is recommended as it pairs well with lustrous Oshima Tsumugi silk kimono, as well as with more vibrant patterned komon kimono that can be difficult to match with an obi. Furthermore, Komori Kusakizome Kobo closed in 2016, so new products are no longer being produced, making this item in good condition even more valuable. This is a high-quality, exceptional piece, so why not consider it? Instant purchase is welcome. Discounts are available for multiple purchases, so please comment.
