This is a nine-sun Nagoya obi made of shioze fabric, featuring a bold yet delicate design of karahana (stylized Chinese flowers) on a vibrant red background. It's perfect for iromuji (single-colored kimono) and komon (small-patterned kimono), but especially recommended for tsumugi (pongee) kimono! It's often said, "woven kimono with dyed obi," and pairing this obi with tsumugi, which has a traditional, rustic charm, will give a sophisticated look without appearing unsophisticated. While many obi feature seasonal flowers, karahana, being a flower of imagination, can be worn in any season, making this obi extremely versatile and convenient to have.
