I am selling at a bargain price, items that were no longer worn by my mother, a Japanese dancer, my wife, and my younger sister. These items include kimonos and obi (sashes) that were purchased from a kimono shop but are unused. This is a six-panel fukuro obi (formal obi) woven by "Fukui Weaving, Weaving Master 11th Generation Soya Soyaemon" of the Nishijin family. It is a "genuine mud-dyed" variation weave "diamond lattice pattern" Omeshi-style weft weave. Soya Soyaemon was born in Kutsuki, Takashima-gun, Shiga Prefecture. In 1716 (Kyoho 1), he founded a kimono shop in Nishijin, Kyoto. Since then, not only in business but also his sincere pursuit of beauty and high-quality creative attitude were appreciated. He began to produce Jinbaori (battle surcoats), which are symbols of the samurai of the Kameda clan. Fukui respects the production philosophy of its predecessors and pursues the essence of beauty in Nishijin obi fabrics. They have inherited 300 years of tradition and techniques. The philosophy and attitude of the predecessors, who devoted themselves to a single obi fabric and dared not produce many, have been carried on by the 11th generation. In recent years, they were selected as a "Kyoto Long-Established Store" by Kyoto Prefecture in 1991. With this opportunity, they aim to further explore the beauty of Nishijin obi fabrics and hand-weave "Shinso no Obi," which has a genuine sparkle, weight, and high-class texture. This is a work by the famous Fukui. It has a sense of weight in appearance and is a soft Omeshi-style weft weave when worn. The "genuine mud-dyed" hand-dyed mud-dyeing has an indescribable depth of color and luster. It is an item with a "diamond lattice pattern" woven with intricate embroidery. The obi core is made of silk. [Uses] Clean Komon (casual kimono), Tsukesage (semi-formal kimono), Iromuji (single-colored kimono), Homongi (formal visiting kimono) Tsumugi (pongee), Kogei-ori (artisan-woven), Omeshi, etc. It was ordered last year and worn twice.
